THQ-Guillermo Del Toro game partnership set to be revealed in December

I posted on here a while ago about acclaimed director Guillermo Del Toro will be working with THQ to develop games, even though THQ wasn’t ready to actually confirm it at the time. Well, they still haven’t actually confirmed it, but they’re working their way up to it.

According to a post on Destructoid, Danny Bilson, Executive Vice President of Core Games at THQ, stated about Del Toro, “He's a gamer who wants to make a great game and has very interesting points of view and is partnered very closely with myself and my writing partner.” This announcement will also allegedly take place appropriately at the Spike Video Game Awards on Dec. 11.

I’m very interested to see what Del Toro and THQ dream up. THQ has been quite the up-and-coming company in recent years, releasing the spectacular Red Faction: Guerilla and branching out into the FPS genre with the upcoming Homefront.

I’ve read quotes from Del Toro before where he talks about his personal taste in gaming and about how he thinks of Left 4 Dead as a great family game – Del Toro stated, “In the household, it's considered a family game," he said. "My two daughters are my wingmen.” L4D could be a great tool to strengthen families, actually, because you either work together as a family or get your face eaten by zombies.

Makes you think, though. If L4D is a family game to him, just think about how terrifying a Del Toro-made horror game would be.
