Jason Rubin has become THQ’s new president. The move was announced just minutes ago as part of the company’s new leadership structure. Rubin will work on THQ’s worldwide product development, marketing, and publishing operations.

Rubin is the co-founder of Naughty Dog and founder of the media mashup technology Flektor.

THQ Chairman and CEO Brian Farrel said the following about Rubin’s appointment:

“Jason’s proven track record in the industry speaks for itself, and he is one of the brightest minds in the business. We believe he can be a game changer and can contribute immensely to executing on our strategy of delivering quality connected core game experiences.”

Rubin also commented on his new position:

“THQ has incredible internal and external game development teams, and an exciting slate of games in its development pipeline. The recent transformation of THQ into a creator of wholly-owned IP has placed it in a perfect position to leverage future trends in the game business. I look forward to working with the management team and board to realize the company’s goals.”

Jason Kay has become THQ’s Chief Strategy Officer. Kay was previously involved with Flektor as a co-founder, and worked at Activision, Columbia House and Home Box Office.

Lastly, THQ’s EVP Core Games Danny Bilson and SVP Core Studios Dave Davis have departed from the company.

Farrel thanked both men for their contributions to THQ:

“Danny has made significant contributions to THQ, and we thank him for his efforts. Along with Danny, Dave has been instrumental in getting our strong pipeline into production.”

Nintendo Power has released a public preview of this month’s magazine. Titles featured include Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate, the Castlevania series in general, The Last Story, and an article about the best Wii games.

The issue arrives on newsstands on June 5 and has already started to reach subscribers.

*Note: The Mirror of Fate image was intentionally pixelated. I guess Nintendo Power didn’t want anyone seeing the article yet, which is odd considering all of the details are already out.
