    Re: THQ Dissolved, WWE License heading to 2K

    I wonder what the hold up with this deal is already? Would be nice to have official word on what's going to happen with the license instead of assuming it's 2K because of "sources" and it may not even be the case.

      From Wrestlezone

      Take-Two Interactive, the parent company responsible for iconic video games titles such as Bioshock, Borderlands, Grand Theft Auto and 2K Sports, has officially acquired the rights to WWE's video game series, after THQ declared bankruptcy earlier this year.

      Take-Two, and more specifically their 2K Sports line, was the leading company in line to take over WWE and Yuke's contracts, and have made deals to hire former THQ employees responsible for past WWE games, as to avoid further contract issues and legal settlements between WWE and THQ.

        Wrestlezone actually links to a Bloomberg article too. Might as well go original source on this.

          Much better article.

          Did I read correctly that Yukes is out?

            This article seems to imply that Yukes will still make it:



            Pending the court's approval of the agreement, Take-Two will publish future WWE video games that will be developed by Yuke's, which made THQ-published WWE titles for more than a decade.

                  Yeah pretty much sounds like WWE wants a game out each year. Looks like we are stuck with Yukes.

                    Yep. In a way, though, that's not entirely bad. WWE 13 does some good things. 2K can maybe guide Yukes to further expand upon Universe and modes like Attitude Era, while also making simulation changes to gameplay.

                    I'd be more concerned if 2K had to start from ground zero.
