Speaking to Game Informer, Nordic CEO Lars Wingefors said that despite now owning the IP to a number of THQ’s franchises, including Darksiders and Red Faction, he is not about to start developing sequels to the games himself: "We have to be very honest. I am a businessman within the games industry. We are not the creative, talented developer that brings out new versions in house.” Instead he intends to outsource the project to the developer best up to the challenge.
This includes Crytek USA, the studio formed from the ashes of Darksiders developer Vigil Games.
"I understand the potential of the IPs. I respect the original creators and the creative people who are able to create sequels. [...] You can see Nordic Game as a middleman in order to create great new sequels. If we can find the right team with the right terms, I'm sure we can find the right financial solution to make it happen."
