WWE’s video game producer, THQ, is officially gone. In a bankruptcy auction today, various studios, staff and properties were sold.
Employees of the former producer were informed that if they were working at a property not scheduled to be sold this week, that their employment would be ending soon.
It has NOT been officially announced who will buy the rights to the WWE franchise. Rumors have been flying for weeks that it would be EA Sports. However, IGN.com is reporting today that Take Two, parent company of 2K would be purchasing the licenses. The video game website can not confirm the purchase, but said the official announcement could come as early as tomorrow.
