With GDC now behind us, publishers are starting to tease their big reveals for E3 2010. THQ apparently has a new fighting game lined up, which is being worked on by a “major developer.”
Speaking with Computer and Video Games, THQ vice president of core games Danny Bilson said, “When we announce it you’ll go, ‘Oh they’re going with THQ, cool.”
He continued, “The fighting group is actually taking on the management of another game that we’re going to announce at E3 that has a certain amount of melee combat in it but it’s … we’ll announce it at E3.”
