The auction for THQ\u2019s much-wanted intellectual property (IP) has finally come to an end, and some of the big-name rights have found new homes with some interesting publishers.<\/p>\n
Three publishers grabbed up all the remaining IPs, with a total of $6.55 million being spent in acquiring the various rights.<\/p>\n
In terms of the big-hitters, the rights to Darksiders, Red Faction, MX vs. ATV, Destroy All Humans!, and others were picked up by Nordic Games; which is surprising, given that Crytek had said that it had set its sights on the Darksiders IP<\/a>. All together, Nordic Games spent $4.9 million acquiring all the rights.<\/p>\n Gearbox Software managed to nab the Homeworld franchise IP for $1.35 million.<\/p>\n THQ\u2019s smaller but nonetheless important gems, Drawn to Life and Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter IPs were picked up by 505 Games for $300,000.<\/p>\n THQ management\u2019s letter to employees<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n List of THQ assets auctioned to publishers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n THQ files for bankruptcy, sells assets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nSource: IGN\u00a0<\/a><\/h6>\n
