Critically Acclaimed Warhammer 40,000 Franchise to Make Handheld Debut

AGOURA HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 19, 2007--THQ Inc. (NASDAQ:THQI) today announced Warhammer(R) 40,000: Squad Command(TM) will bring the carnage of the 41st millennium to the popular handheld Nintendo DS(TM) and PSP(R) (PlayStation(R)Portable) systems, scheduled to be released in fall 2007. Taking full advantage of the unique capabilities of the Nintendo DS and PSP, Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command features a new and immersive single-player campaign, along with a robust global multiplayer component.

During the last week THQ announced a few titles it plans to release this or next year: Stuntman: Ignition which will be ported to the PS2, PS3 and Xbox 360 only. The player will jump into the role of a Hollywood stuntman driver which is encouraged to create breath-taking jump-rides. Besides the singleplayer career it will come with an online multiplayer mode all together this summer.
The next one in the list is MotoGP '07 which will be based on the original MotoGP motorcycle season 2007. That includes new bikes, customizations and tracks compared to it's predecessor MotoGP '06. At the time of writing it seems like only Xbox 360 owners will get the MotoGP '07 experience this fall but PC gamers usually should be addressed as well.
Early in 2008 a well known character will make it to NextGen consoles: Conan the Cimmerian. Robert E. Howards protagonist is fighting against a variety of deadly enemies and so called 'elusive power that threatens the Hyborian world' with different fighting styles having plenty of weapons at his disposal. Nihilistic Software best known for Vampire - The Masquerade, Starcraft Ghost and Marvel Nemesis is assigned to do the job (PS3 and Xbox 360).
Nearly the whole lineup of hardware (Nintendo DS, PC, PS2, PS3, PSP and Xbox 360) is supported by Juiced 2: Jot Import Nights. Released in the last quarter of this year gets full support from the Hot Import Nights Show be it up-to-date car customizations, race tracks and driving experience. Tuning fans will get a new drifting component which they can showcase at Hot Import Nights events.
