IGN.com is reporting that the WWE video game license is expected to be acquired by Take Two, the parent company of 2K:

"The era of THQ wrestling games is over. Sources have indicated to IGN that the WWE game franchise will be sold to Take Two, parent company of 2K. Terms of the sale are unknown at this time, as details have not been finalized. These negotiations appear to have taken place outside THQ's formal auction process."

THQ, the former developer of WWE's video game franchise, will be officially dissolving, with its studios, staff, licenses and other assets sold off at auction today.

So we're done with THQ? Wow. Unsure whether this is good or bad.

Inb4 WWE 14' declared the worst wrestling video game of all time. I'm actually accustomed to the gameplay of WWE games now & I have a feeling take two is just going fuck up the whole control scheme, trying to be "different". I hope some of the game writers over there actually watch wrestling that way we can get some good storylines. Hopefully better graphics, some more CAW options, certainly better online play. WWE games are a whole different thing than what take two usually works with, so I want to have hope for this game, but I have the feeling it'll be a bust.

Agree completely. Love THQ or hate them (as most people do), I had some fun playing their games, and they had experience with them, so even though the games always sort of followed the same mold, it's a good mold. What are the other wrestling games out there, TNA Impact? AAA? Those are horrible, which is why I don't really think '14 will be a good game as well.

Bring back the 2D style games like the ones on Genesis, in particular, Royal Rumble and RAW :yay:

Fuck THQ and their shitty servers.

Hopefully this means the game will be better.

Don't know how i feel about this... My biggest problem with 13 and the ones before that is that i get tired of them fast, but 2k makes NBA 2k and that had the my player mode, which is outstanding. If they could leave the core game similar and add a my career mode to it, I'd be happy as hell.

I hated THQ. Based on NBA2k games, I can see the WWE games being amazing. Also, they also own Rockstar as well as 2K sports.

Remember, they're just a publisher. Yukes will still be the guys making the game. So its bound to suck just as much, but this time with a little more financial support.
