Recommended Videos

This week, an auction was held to sell off THQ’s I.P. to various bidders, and we now know how it panned out, according to a report at Kotaku, who have managed to get ahold of a letter that THQ sent out to their employees.

 

THQ’s assets and I.P. have been bid upon by the following companies:

  • Sega agreed to purchase Relic [Entertainment]
  • Koch Media agreed to purchase Volition [Inc.] and Metro
  • Crytek agreed to purchase Homefront
  • Take 2 agreed purchase Evolve and
  • Ubisoft agreed to purchase [THQ] Montreal and South Park

 

Other assets, such as Darksiders developer, Vigil Games, along with other I.P. and assets relating to THQ’s publishing business, were not included in the sale agreements. “We will make every effort to find appropriate buyers, if possible,” the company-wide letter says, with regard to these assets.

 

The full letter, signed by THQ CEO Brian Farrel and THQ president Jason Rubin, can be found at the Kotaku link above.
