The ''VideoGame/{{Darksiders}}'' series to Nordic Games

[[VideoGame/{{Darksiders}} Vigil Games]] and THQ itself were unsold and ultimately shut down on January 23, 2013. Rumor has it, however, that PlatinumGames is interested in acquiring the ''{{Darksiders}}'' IP. In addition, [[VideoGame/{{Crysis}} Crytek]] has opened a new Texas-based studio with many former Vigil employees, and may also consider acquiring the Darksiders propriety. Stay tuned.

In recent years, however, THQ has gone through some tough financial times. It has closed down several studios, laid off thousands of workers, and moved on from licensed properties based on kids' shows to focus on "high quality-owned [=IPs=]". This all came to a head on December 19, 2012, as THQ filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Its fate got sealed when it auctioned off most of its properties on January 23, 2013.
