The breakup of THQ is apparently still underway, as Nordic Games, who also now own the THQ name, announce they have picked up the IP for de Blob from the defunct publisher. The original de Blob was released for Windows in 2006 and there was a sequel for consoles in 2011, and the series apparently will soldier on. "de Blob is just a great and truly unique franchise," says Reinhard Pollice, Business & Product Development Director at Nordic Games. "We are excited about what the future holds for this polychromatic extravaganza as the newest addition to our portfolio. We will evaluate opportunities with the existing games, as well as potential sequels."
