THQ’s new president, Jason Rubin, has assured Darksiders followers that he’s absolutely committed to the franchise.
A quote from Rubin received a great deal attention earlier this week, which implied that Rubin may not have been keen on seeing the franchise continue.
But in a new statement to fans, Rubin said that his words were taken out of context. His quote “was intended in the context of having different teams within this incredibly talented studio work on new original IP, as well as continuing to support the Darksiders franchise.”
Rubin wrote the following on the official Darksiders forum today:
