THQ has delayed a slew of big-budget releases for it’s fiscal 2013 plans. This includes Company of Heroes 2 and Metro: Last Light.
The reason? Product quality.
As President Jason Rubin states in the recent investor relations press release, “When I joined THQ the company made a public commitment to quality titles. We always expected that in some cases this would mean that more time would be needed to make sure that every title is of the highest possible quality. Our fourth quarter releases are the first titles that I have had the ability to materially impact, and experience told me that the games needed additional development time to be market-ready.”
Of course, there are plenty of plans for games beyond that period as well.
Rubin continues, “THQ is excited about our position and pipeline of games beyond fiscal 2013, including the sequel for Saints Row: The Third, Homefront 2 and the as-yet-unannounced game from Turtle Rock Studios. In total we have ten titles in development for fiscal 2014 and later, almost all of which are based on our own IP. We intend to announce more details about our future slate in the coming months.”
So while the present is a bit empty, the future looks even brighter.
