THQ Australia to shut down

Written By Kom Limpulnam on Rabu, 10 Oktober 2012 | 23.37

THQ's Melbourne, Australia office will shut shop in the region within months, the firm announced today. All local staff have been dismissed following the news, with the publisher's future software distribution to be handled by third-party, All Interactive Entertainment (AIE).

"The evolution of our distribution model in the Asia Pacific region will allow us to increase our reach with a lower cost model," THQ's executive vice president of global publishing Ian Curran confirmed in a statement. "AIE is a trusted business partner with whom we have worked with for many years as our distributor in New Zealand. We believe the company will benefit from AIE's backing and comprehensive distribution network across Australia."

Robert Kingston, director of AIE acknowledged the appointment, saying "We are delighted to broaden our relationship with a top publisher such as THQ. We look forward to bringing THQ's highly-anticipated new video game releases and existing game portfolio to our retail network in the territory."

The details come less than six months after Sega Australia closed its doors in similar fashion; moving the entirety of its business to distributor Five Star Games.

No other regions of operation are believed to be impacted as a result of THQ's office closure in Australia.
