THQ has announced the launch of THQ Partners today, a new way for publishers and developers to get their games out to the world.
THQ Parnters will be led by Tim Waslh, who’s “extensive experience in global publishing and online distribution” makes him just right for the position.
“I’m extremely pleased to join THQ and launch THQ Partners,” said Tim Walsh, Vice President, THQ Partners. “I’m looking forward to working with a select number of world-class developers and publishers to distribute their great games through our global network.”
“THQ Partners is charged with maximizing the efficiencies of our global distribution network by enhancing our product offerings with quality games from developers and publishers who don’t have the benefit of our extensive retail and online sales operations,” said Ian Curran, Executive Vice President, THQ Global Publishing.
Electronic Arts has had their very own EA Partners company for years now. Through their Partners system, we’ve seen games like Left 4 Dead, All Points Bulletin, ex-Infinity Ward heads Jason West and Vince Zampella’s new game, and Insomniac’s first multiplatform game.
We can only wait to see what will come out of THQ Partners.
