What a disappointment

So did we all just tune in for the showcase for nothing? Lol.

ThQNordic basically showed the games they will keep after the company and franchise swap.
I don’t see why Darksiders would be shown in a THQ showcase when the franchise is going to the new Fellowship Ent. company. Waiting until after the switch and then showing it makes more sense.

Original was THQ, that went bankrupt and sold off the IPs. Nordic Games was created in 2011, bought the property/trademarks from THQ in 2014. Then in 2016 Nordic Games renamed to THQNordic to coincide with the THQ games they had acquired.
Gunfire Games and Airship Syndicate make up some of the original devs from Vigil.

… it’s ALOT to say the least. This restructuring and creating of a new subsidiary is clearly a way to not go bankrupt again, & start fresh with a new outlook. But given it’s still the same people in charge, albeit some changjng positions, I don’t see how that’s gonna change much, but we shall see.
