If you thought all of THQ's assets had been sold off by now, think again. Nordic Games today announced that it has purchased the IP rights to the de Blob franchise. While the majority of THQ's assets were bought up last year after the company went bankrupt, the de Blob IP was left behind. Now Nordic has decided that it's the right time to pick it up.
