The last time we picked up on THQ and developer Bii Huge Games, both groups were in the spotlight to discuss their yet-to-be-named RPG project for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.

The two companis' ties can only get tighter as of late, as THQ has announced plans to acquire BHG. THQ's executive VP Jack Sorensen expressed his company's optimistic outlook regarding the new deal:

The acquisition of Big Huge Games is a big win for THQ as we continue to expand both our internal development capabilities and our portfolio of owned intellectual properties. The talent at Big Huge Games has an outstanding history of developing top-selling quality games and we look forward to their creation of many exciting new owned franchises for THQ.

We are extremely excited to become a part of THQ. We believe their passion for games, developer support, and understanding of the creative process is without parallel in the industry. THQ provides an ideal environment to help us develop new, innovative games for both core gamers and mass market.
