Another fallout from THQ’s recent auction is the transfer of the WWE licence. IGN reports that it is now in the hands of Take-Two Interactive.

One thing to note: the rights were apparently sold outside THQ’s formal auction process. Exact details behind the negotiation are currently unknown.

THQ has sold off a number of its studios and assets to a variety of different companies.

Relic is now in the hands of SEGA. Volition and Metro are going to Koch Media. Crytek now owns Homefront, while Take-Two purchased Evolve. Finally, Ubisoft has agreed to acquire Montreal and South Park.

There’s one big studio missing here: Vigil, the team behind the Darksiders titles. Vigil and some of THQ’s other IPs are not included in the sale agreement, but they’ll still be included in the Chapter 11 case. The company hopes to find new buyers for these assets.

A lengthy letter from THQ chief executive officer Brian Farrel and president Jason Rubin can be found below.

One user on the Capcom-Unity boards asked about a possible Resident Evil Mercenaries game for consoles and PC. This wouldn’t be a port of 3DS’ Mercenaries 3D. Rather, it’d be a brand new title with modern visuals.

Capcom’s Christian Svensson, responding to the note, said: “Understood on the request. Let’s talk next week on this topic.”

Svensson also had a few things to say about Resident Evil: Revelations HD’s Raid Mode. This will be “extremely expanded”.

“The other thing you should look forward to is trying out the extremely expanded raid mode (details to come in the coming months) in RE:Revelations. I find it scratches a LOT of the same itches.”
