Nordic Games will purchase the rights to Darksiders, Red Faction, MX vs. ATV and other THQ stragglers. The publisher of Deadfall Adventures, Painkiller: Hell & Damnation, and the PC version of Alan Wake today announced its $4.9 million deal to pick up several of the THQ franchises which remained for a second round of auctions.
Fans are invited to voice their hopes and concerns for each franchise's future on Nordic Games' forum.
Both Platinum Games and Crytek USA, which is largely composed of ex-Darksiders developer Vigil Games, expressed their interest in the apocalyptic adventure series. Volition seemed more at peace with losing Red Faction. Still, Nordic Games doesn't plan to make all these games by itself.
The rights to the Homeworld series of space strategy games, meanwhile, went to Borderlands and Aliens: Colonial Marines developer Gearbox.
