General Manager Klemens Kreuzer told Polygon that Nordic Games has “acquired the THQ trademark and will be publishing games under the THQ name.”
Nordic Games acquired much of the THQ catalog back in 2013 during the company’s auction after it declared bankruptcy. Nordic is having a hard time being seen as legitimate, and the company hopes that publishing games with the THQ branding will help.
Kreuzer told Polygon, “It was kind of surprise to some industry veterans and players that we were the winner of the auction of the THQ titles… The challenging fact is nobody has ever heard about Nordic Games before [the THQ auction]. There were so many articles with the headlines ‘Who the fuck is Nordic Games?’ We said, okay they were right… We have seen an uplift in the name of Nordic Games, and what we have also done is we have made a second deal with THQ where we bought the THQ trademark.”
Kreuzer also told Polygon that the company would be making more announcements at Gamescom in August. Hopefully this means some news about Darksiders III, which Nordic revealed was in pre-production earlier this year.
