WWE ā14 will continue to use Yukeās, of Osaka, Japan, the seriesā longtime developer, to build the game. Visual Concepts, 2K Sportsā in-house studio, will also contribute to the effort, supervising the former THQ Fight Team employees that are being brought aboard to continue the titleās development.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. WWE executive Casey Collins said THQ and the WWE held a private bidding for the rights to develop WWE video games, for which THQ had an exclusive license through 2017. THQ entered bankruptcy in December, and when a plan to sell all of its assets to a private equity firm was shot down by a judge, the companyās assets were sold off piecemeal, closing the company. THQās WWE license and assets were never a part of that process. The WWE did not disclose who other than 2K parent Take-Two Interactive bid on the license.
