There are a few entities looking to get their hands on THQ and its assets, Ubisoft is one of them. Ubisoft is eager to take control over the studios and brands the publisher currently owns and I don't blame them.
THQ filed for bankrupcy a few days ago and handed over everything to an investment firm in the U.S. Ubisoft however, is looking for a bargain and are willing to wait out for THQ to arrange its current financial problems.
The titles and studios that belong to THQ, are pretty diverse. They could potentially fill in the gaps Ubisoft needs for complete dominance.Company of Heroes is a classic RTS and would definitely fill that gap up for the publishers.
Insider Gaming - "Ubisoft has cancelled yet another game, this time ending development on the Animal Crossing-inspired title Alterra."
HALIFAX (April 14, 2026) – Laid-off Ubisoft workers in Halifax have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a settlement with the video-game giant. The terms of the settlement, including the compensation employees will receive, is confidential.
I can't sit here and act like I know these workers financial situations. And I'm sure nobody wakes up WANTING to go to court. But for the sake of the industry, I wish some of these types of cases made it to trial.
Settlements allow companies to continue to do whatever abusive practices they do. While the trials (should the company lose) would actually force real changes for the better.
But again, I'm not in these workers shoes and I can understand them not wanting to risk it.
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
I'd take Ubisoft over EA buying THQ assets anyday
Yeah thats whats happening, Its a business war between these developers. Watch Activision stick it's nose into all of this. Publishers want a monopoly on the market. I mean we cant really tell but they might disregard some promising titles if this purchase happens. The the bidding wars begin. ;p
They'd be better than EA AND Activision. Valve would be a good choice too.
id love this, my only concern would be if they turned darksiders and saints row into assassians creed.
