Ubisoft Planning to Grab Hold of THQ's Assets

THQ filed for bankruptcy earlier this week and there are rumblings that French studio Ubisoft are keen to step in.

Sources speaking to MCV have noted how there are discussions between both THQ and Ubisoft, perhaps looking at more specific projects. If Ubisoft did lap these up, the home of Just Dance and Assassin's Creed will also have the rights to popular franchises like WWE, Saints Row, Red Faction and Darksiders.

THQ are continuing as normal during the transition period, with studios and games in development going ahead as planned - currently in the hands of investment group Clearlake as a temporary owner.
