Like Ubisoft, THQ is evaluating its monies for 2007 and 2008. Also like Ubisoft, business is good, with the company increasing its revenue guidance from $490 million to $509 million (thanks in no small part to strong WWE Smackdown vs. Raw and MX vs. ATV Untamed sales).
The company does, however, indicate that a few dollars were lost on “underperformance” of certain titles, citing Stuntman: Ignition, Ratatouille, and Conan among them. As a result, THQ has decided not to pursue its Stuntman and Juiced IPs, as part of its “quality initiatives.” Good call, guys.
Additionally, THQ has also confirmed the following cancellations: Destroy All Humans: Billy Willy Unleashed for the PlayStation 2 and — wait for it — Frontlines: Fuel of War for the PlayStation 3. We reported on the “rumored” cancellation of the latter game, which was later met with conflicting reports around the net. While I refuse to outright say “We told you so,” I will take this moment to post a video of the Timex Social Club classic “Rumors,” which you can see after the jump.
Just because I can.
