After the end of the two title distribution deal signed with Vivendi-Universal Games at the beginning of the year, US publisher Majesco has been looking for a more stable distribution deal. Games such as Psychonauts have been unavailable to play in the PAL regions and a host of future titles including Black & White Creatures looked to be heading the same way.

That has all changed with a joint announcement by Majesco and new 14-title international distribution deal with THQ, which will be in place for the next two years. Titles set to be released under the new deal will include Psychonauts, Jaws Unleashed, Nanostray, Aeon Flux, Age of Empires 2, and Black & White Creatures.

"This is a great opportunity for THQ to expand its portfolio of products internationally," stated Ian Curran, Senior Vice President, European Publishing, THQ. "Working with Majesco on such critically-acclaimed games as Psychonauts and key licensed properties such as Jaws is a great opportunity for THQ to expand our business and realise the success of these titles globally."

"This initiative significantly expands Majesco's global presence," said Jesse Sutton, president of Majesco. "THQ is recognized worldwide as a premier publisher and we are excited to partner with them to effectively extend our brands throughout the global community."
