THQ陷入危机 正努力摆脱退市厄运
在该公司的投资者页面当中详细地记录了这次行动——他们将THQ公司原本6850万份股份合并到了近690万份，由此将每份普通股的股价提升到了刚刚超过一美元的水平。

　　从今年1月份开始，THQ公司的股票就一直处在退市的危险当中，其中有超过30天的时间股价处在一美元以下。为了避免退市，该公司必须要将其股票价格提升至一美元以上，并且在7月23日之前连续10个交易日保持价格在一美元以上。

　　目前还无法确定这个危急时刻的努力是否能成功。这一家游戏发行公司称，“目前无法保证这次反向股票分割能否达成期望中的一美元收盘价，以达到交易所的要求。”

　　THQ公司目前脆弱财政状况，是因为旗下的uDraw项目比公司的预期要多亏了近1亿美元，这直接导致了该公司在本季度直接亏损3000万美元。

　　但目前仍不能说THQ必死无疑，8月份他们将在Xbox 360、PlayStation 3、和PC平台推出《暗黑血统2》，希望这能缓解他们目前的财政危机。

《阿玛拉王国：惩罚》重制版需要EA的同意 THQ Nordic回应

　　在近期完成对《阿玛拉王国》IP的收购之后，发行商THQ Nordic就收到了大量关于，游戏初代《阿玛拉王国：惩罚（Kingdoms of Amalur:Reckoning）》是否会有重制版、重做版或是移植到最新主机平台上等问题。针对此，THQ Nordic向外媒Eurogamer做出回应，表示初代的发行权目前还在EA的手中，游戏的重制首先需要得到EA的许可，而对于游戏原开发商38 Studios与EA在初代作品上达成的协议，THQ Nordic未予以置评。

　　“EA现在依然有《惩罚》的发行权，”THQ Nordic在回复给外媒Eurogamer的邮件中表示。“……现在，我们只是收购了游戏的IP……我们只能在有充足的信心和充分熟悉这个系列之后，才会讨论相关问题。”

　　我们知道，THQ Nordic基本上收购了当时THQ破产之后的大部分游戏IP，其中就有《暗黑血统》系列，并在之前重制推出过《暗黑血统2：终极版》。而同时在今年年初，THQ Nordic又以1.21亿欧元将Koch Media/Deep Silver纳入旗下，这其中涉及了《黑道圣徒》IP、《地铁：离去》的发行权以及《死亡岛2》等众多游戏。

　　显然THQ Nordic现在已经具备了十足的野心，至于在《阿玛拉王国》这个系列上，其又将做出怎样的处理，我们也将密切关注。

经典有望复活 THQ Nordic收购《阿玛拉王国》IP
