THQ will be releasing sequels to key franchises and top selling titles during fiscal year 2012 according to the company’s CEO Brian Farrell.
In a conference call with investors Farrell explained that THQ is gearing up for a strong 2012 with “accelerated growth with three major core game titles scheduled: Warhammer 40k Space Marine, a sequel to Darksiders and the third generation of our popular Saint’s Row franchise.” The fiscal year for 2012 runs from April of 2011 until March of 2012.
Anyone with a clue would have expected Darksiders to get a sequel. It had solid sales numbers in a very competitive release window after the holiday season and was well received by critics. The same can be said about the Saints Row franchise, it’s been a great source of income for the publisher. It turns out that being able to booze it up and ho-smack hookers makes for a fun game.
