THQ Announces New RPG
"Partnering with Ken Rolston and the rest of the team at Big Huge Games is a major win for THQ and marks a bold, first move into the traditional role-playing game space," said Kelly Flock, executive vice president of worldwide publishing, THQ. An RPG design veteran of 25 years, Ken Rolston (pictured) is lead designer at Big Huge Games. He began his career with popular pen and paper RPG’s Paranoia and Rune Quest and more recently worked on the highly praised Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. "I’m flabbergasted by the talent, craft and boundless energy of the Big Huge Games team," said Rolston. "In such splendid company, I’m privileged to embark on a bold pilgrimage to create a refreshingly original RPG experience. I know eager game fans will share our excitement as we reveal further details in the coming months." COO of Big Huge Games Tim Train added, "We’ve wanted to do an RPG for years and I think we have a great direction that will knock everyone’s socks off. "THQ’s ability to create and grow new intellectual properties, and their reputation for fantastic developer support, made them the ideal partner to bring our dream game to market."Source: http://www.next-gen.biz/
