Big Huge Games in trouble

THQ to close studio unless new owner is found
Bengt Lemne 18 March 2009

Things change quickly in the games industry. In January last year THQ purchased Maryland based developer Big Huge Games, best known for strategy games Rise of Nations and Rise of Legends, and now they have given them notice that if a new owner has not been found in 60 days they will close down the studio.

Hopefully Big Huge Games can find a new home before then as we are intrigued to find out more about their RPG project headed by former Oblivion game designer Ken Rolston. The studio is also working on an unannounced Wii project.
