After THQ’s empty piggy bank was smashed on the floor, a number of other publishers are rumoured to be looking at picking up the pieces, but Electronic Arts (EA) is now a leading contender.
Distressed Debt Investing tweeted that EA is a “potential buyer of certain titles” and has “completed site visits” of THQ.
EA are said to be in contention with Ubisoft and Warner Bros. for THQ’s properties.
Ubisoft chairman and CEO Yves Guillemot expressed his interest in THQ’s involuntary yard sale.
“They have good things. We are always interested in good brands. For sure, it’s something we can consider, but I can’t tell you more,” Guillemot said.
Distressed Debt Investing also revealed that all THQ assets will be sold by 22 January, through an auction that will allow for “title by title” sales.
