As many of you know, THQ has been in bankruptcy proceedings for a few weeks now. Today the results of the auction of the company was revealed, resulting the THW being disolved. While this means several people who worked for the companies HQ and some of their studios will be out of a job (Vigil being the studio that had no bids), many games and studios will live on. The most noteworthy of the sale is Relic, who will be acquired in full by SEGA for $26 million. The move means SEGA will get the rights to previous and future games in the Company of Heroes and Warhammer franchises, great additions to the growing lineup of game franchises SEGA makes games for. List of auction results as provided by Joystiq: Relic and Company of Heroes Winning bid: $26.6 million - Sega Corporation Backup bidder: $26.3 million - Zenimax Media THQ Montreal, with 1666 and Underdog Winning bid: $2.5 million - Ubisoft Backup bidder: N/A Evolve aka Metamorphosis Winning bid: $10.894 million - Take-Two Interactive Backup bidder: $250,000 Turtle Rock Studios, Inc.

I'm gonna miss THQ. All the days I spent playing those Hot Wheels games. Last year was Velocity X's 10th anniversary. I'm sure SEGA will do a great job, though. Thank you for the info, Augie. |

THQ made a lot of good games, it ashame they have gone to the wall. To my understanding South Park Stuios has objected to the sale of South Park: The Stick of Truth, so it be interesting to see if Ubisoft actually does get that. Also, who has brought the rights, if anyone to Red Faction? Red Faction and Red Faction Guerrilla were both great games. |

The studios and games that were not sold at the auction were fully closed today. Red Faction was deved by Volitron, so Koch Media has rights to those games. Edited by AugieD, Jan 23 2013, 04:53 PM.

Actually, thinking about it, I think Red Faction was only published by THQ, my bad. Shame to see any company fail though, a lot of game companies have closed of late. |

Wonder what Koch is going to do with the Saints Row franchise. |

Saints Row has been one of the more sucessful GTA clones. It be interesting to see if Koch can continue making it sucessful or if they will mess it up. |
