THQ Nordic and Koch Media exchange franchise rights like Sacred and Red Faction to "evaluate" their return

With this that THQ Nordic is always buying new IPs and studios, it is inevitable to think about the famous motto of "Get all" of Pokemon. What we couldn't imagine is that they would take the resemblance to the Nintendo franchise so far, because now also the rights of the games are exchanged.

As we have seen in GamesIndustry

, THQ Nordic has announced that it will transfer the rights of Red Faction and Painkiller to Koch Media. This, in turn, will give THQ Nordic the Risen, Sacred, Rush for Berlin, Second Sight and Singles: Flirt Up Your Life. It is important to remember that both companies are part of the Embracer Group, so they have that ease of movement between them.

What if, there are plans for these licenses. THQ itself states that "we already have something in mind"

.

Evaluations of remasters, ports, possible sequels, new content, etc. will begin immediately.

It makes sense, since this exchange brings licenses closer to their original developers and publishers. For example, Red Faction It will happen to be in the same editorial group (Deep Silver, which is at the same time part of Koch Media) as Volition, creators of the saga. The same happens with Risen

and Piranha Bytes, both owned by THQ Nordic as of now.

What will you be up to? I wouldn't be surprised if they came out of here a good handful of remasters, although it would not be bad that there is also a sequel on the way.
