From that linked article the only news that interested me was,

Koch Media will buy Saint's Row studio Volition and the Metro IP rights

... because it would suggest that Metro: Last Light will still be released.Â

I was very surprised to see Vigil wasn't bought by anyone. They were the makers of the Darksiders games which seemed to be very popular and sold well. Since nobody wanted them the entire studio is without a job nowÂ

I'm with DreamcastRIP on this. Metro: Last Light is one of the few 2013 games that I'm excited about after the fantastic original!

Take-Two Interactive Software has officially acquired the WWE video game license from THQ's bankruptcy, as revealed in court documents filed on Tuesday. WWE and Yukes, the game developer THQ brought in to help produce WWE games, will now terminate their contracts with THQ and enter into new agreements with Take-Two. Take-Two will also hire THQ's employees that work on the WWE games. WWEÂ agreed to waive its pre-bankruptcy claims of about $45 million and claims for annual royalty advances of about $7.5 million for the licensing contract running through 2017 to expedite the acquisition deal.

Thats great news that they have kept Yukes on board, the future for the franchise should be in good hands.
