As the corpse of THQ is split up and sold off following financial failure and "massive mistakes", we now know where another severed limb will be transplanted. After rumours of an acquisition last month, 2K has confirmed it'll be publishing the WWE series made by Japanese developer Yuke's.

THQ's demise was not something that happened because of bad luck or a changing marketplace, but more a result of a "sea of bad decisions," with the uDraw tablet at or near the top of the list, according to company president Jason Rubin.

The newly-formed Crytek USA promises to take some of the talent lost at Vigil, offering "a new start" for members of that team.

In an auctioning process, THQ has sold many of its studios and upcoming games.
