THQ has today announced that it's signed Big Huge Games' next-generation RPG title with a broad (and distant) release date sometime in 2009.
Headed by Ken Rolston, whose experience with Role-Playing Games include the likes of Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, the untitled RPG will be released on Xbox 360, PlayStation3, and PC - but don't expect much more information anytime soon when the release date is at least eighteen months off.
"THQ has built its business by identifying the right content to compete and win in the genres gamers are most passionate about," said Kelly Flock, Executive Vice President of Worldwide Publishing, THQ. "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."
"We've wanted to do an RPG for years and I think we have a great direction that will knock everyone's socks off," said Tim Train, President and COO of Big Huge Games. "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."
Speaking about the project, Ken Rolston, Lead Designer, Big Huge Games commented: "I'm flabbergasted by the talent, craft and boundless energy of the Big Huge Games team...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."
