THQ's Turtle Rock Shooter Still Coming Along

THQ's recent financial troubles haven’t put an end to many of its current projects quite yet. In 2011, the publisher signed a deal with Turtle Rock Studios, one of the co-developers of Left 4 Dead, to create a new game.

Recent tweets from THQ's Jeremy Greiner indicate the project is still coming along. "Starting work on the campaign for my next FPS, which is being made by the creators of Left 4 Dead. This one is gonna be amazing," he said, adding that we won't hear anything about the project for awhile still.

Last month, THQ outlined its future game plan, with the Turtle Rock project slated for release in fiscal year 2014, which begins April 1, 2013. No details about the project have surfaced yet. THQ did, however, register a trademark for the name "Evolve" last month.

  • I'm just glad Darksiders 2 is so close to it's release date that it couldn't possibly be canceled.
  • what is it going to be called?
  • Shame how Valve took all the credit for L4D.
  • Release around 2014? Hopefully it comes to the new consoles.
  • Good, I like that and I hope they prosper, and a shooter is a good way to garuntee sales of some sort
  • eh
  • Evolve... I'm thinking Pokemon FPS. We've all been asking for it.

    Edit: I realize now how bad that joke was, and I apologize to any who cringed when they read it.
  • This is good for THQ. Hopefully whatever project Turtle Rock Studios is working on will become a big franchise for them because as we all know THQ needs one.
  • Such as the name of the studio, development is almost always slow and steady, but eventual.
  • Cool, I also thought this was cancelled, but good to know that it isn't.
  • THQ has been struggling they wont make it I feel as if they will be overshadowed by ubisoft and naughty dog.
  • I haven't heard much about this but the mystery is quite intriguing.
  • It's a shooter that takes place in a Zelda dungeon?
  • Hmm sounds cool actually...

  • Interesting.  I wonder if it'll make a showing at E3.  

  • That's an awesome name, Turtle Rock.

  • This is good news.
