Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming THQ game will be a trilogy of sci-fi role-playing games, if a source of MMOMFG is to be believed.

Set to be revealed at the Video Game Awards next month, as confirmed by THQ exec Danny Bilson, the source claims that the plan is for a trilogy “along the lines of Mass Effect.” The game is apparently focused on inter-dimensional travel, where the player is tasked with investigation open portals that must be closed. The source also mentioned the presence of Lovecraftian themes.

Back in August, a job listing from Volition looking for a design director to work on an action RPG in “collaboration with a high-powered creative talent in the entertainment industry to develop [an] original, unannounced franchise” was posted. If del Toro is that person, then that at least confirms the RPG bit.
