THQ Inc. has purchased the Stuntman franchise from Atari.
The Stuntman franchise made its debut in 2002 and has sold about 1.6 million units.
With a title under development for next-gen consoles through Paradigm Entertainment, THQ is pleased with the purchase and no doubt Atari is happy to be streamlining its flailing enterprise. THQ also intends to buy Paradigm.
The concept of pulling off the incredible driving feats of Hollywood stuntmen is a natural fit for action and racing game fans alike," said Kelly Flock, executive vice president of worldwide publishing, THQ. "Stuntman is a great complement to our growing stable of original content targeting the core gamer on next-generation systems."
