It has now been confirmed through the Distressed Debt twitter feed that individual THQ assets will be auctioned off on January 22. There is speculation that as many as 5 interest parties, including EA and Warner Bros., will be bidding for assets that include Saints Row, Homefront, and Darksiders. It remains to be seen if the stalking-horse bidder Clearlake Capital who attempted to take over all assets for $60 million will remain in the hunt and if they will pick up whatever is left once the big boys have dined.
What this means for the THQ owned studios involved also remains to be seen.
