THQ is ready for a reboot.
After spending months eliminating staff and cutting development costs, the Los Angeles videogame publisher is refocusing its efforts on making franchisable properties that it can also exploit as movies, TV shows and comicbooks.
It’s turned to Hollywood scribe Danny Bilson (behind the feature “The Rocketeer” and TV shows “The Flash” and “The Sentinel”) to develop what it considers core games, one of three units; the other two are: kids, family and casual games (as one unit) and online titles.
The three new units will produce THQ’s lineup of games moving forward, with each unit manager reporting directly to THQ prexy and CEO Brian Farrell.
