THQ's earnings call reveals sequelmania for 2011/2012 photo

"What are you selling?" asked the hooded guy in Resident Evil 4. Me? Nothing really. I got this Sony netbook up for grabs. THQ, on the other hand, has a whole bunch of sequels for you, stashed away in their jacket.

From THQ's earnings call today, several announcements were made for the next couple of years:

  • A sequel to Red Faction (2011)
  • Home Front (2011, I saw it at E3 last year)
  • Warhammer Space Marine (2012, also saw a preview at E3)
  • Saint's Row sequel (2012)
  • Darksiders sequel (2012)

Wow, guys. Lots of potentially huge games lined up. Although early, I remember Home Front being particularly nice looking (shown above). 

Sounds like THQ has their work cut out for them. I hope we get to see some of this stuff at E3 2010.

Also, while this wasn't in Geoff's Tweet lineup, de Blob is also coming back!

Space Marine is a sequel to Fire Warrior right? Right? OMG I can't wait for that.

DARKSIDERS SEQUEL CONFIRMED.

I think Jim owes everyone (including himself) an apology...

Red Faction Guerrilla was particularly memorable for me, so I'm eager to see it expanded in a sequel.

Red Faction sequel doesn't come as a surprise, but I'm still greatly excited to hear a timeframe for it. Same goes for Darksiders 2.

I think it's very funny that in an announcement of 5 sequels, there's a headline saying "THQ doesn't care about sequels (but won't turn 'em down)". Apparently at least part of that is true...

Saints Row 2 was awesome. And Red Faction: Guerilla was great too. This is extremely relavent to my interests.

Its cool to see THQ having developed some good cool IP of their own. For ages they've been relying on wrestling games and other cheese fests.

Red Faction I have to pick up on the cheap. I'm really looking forward to Homefront. Darksiders is welcome again, and that Space Marine game looks all kinds of crazy good, and I don't even like Warhammer.

Good luck to them, and bring on those games.

Oh good! No need for Jim Sterling to burst a theoretical gasket.

More Saints Row! Yes!

Now that they have the physics and engine in place I hope the Mars of RF:G2 is a more developed and populated one.

One of my favorites of 2009. Can't wait to see what they do with it. Also Mechs in online multiplayer.

Great news about Darksiders 2. I was worried after Jim's rant--although I still share its sentiments. Darksiders was excellent.

Thank goodness there's going to be a Darksiders 2. I was a little worried.

I'm all up for a Saints Row sequel if they just change the damn game. 2 was such a cop out by adding Co-op and doing nothing else different.

Wait, what? 2011/2012? Last time i heard about it Space Marine was supposed to be released in early 2010.

But i must say that i am excited for every single one of the games listed above ... Even Home Front looks interesting.

"Darksiders sequel (2012)"

Well, this should keep Sterling's mouth shut
