THQ’s remaining assets including Darksiders, Red Faction, MX vs. ATV and more have found new homes. According to THQ, three buyers spent a total of $6.55 million on the company’s remaining assets, subject to court approval.

  • Nordic Games purchased the rights to Darksiders, Red Faction and MX vs. ATV, as well as rights to THQ’s other owned software (Destroy All Humans!, Summoner and more) and licensed software (Marvel Super Hero Squad, Supreme Commander and more) for $4.9 million in total.
  • As announced earlier today, Borderlands 2 developer Gearbox Software purchased the rights to the Homeworld franchise, and THQ has now disclosed that the purchase price was $1.35 million.
  • The rights to Drawn to Life and Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter were purchased by 505 Games for $300,000.

Previously, THQ confirmed it would be selling its remaining assets following its bankruptcy and the sale of its other intellectual property in January.

THQ expects the court to finalize the sales by May 13th.
