Today it has been reported via various press releases and finance sites that THQ are aquiring a Big Huge Games (see where the title pun comes from now? witty arn't I!), previously a Microsoft Games Studio.

The studio, previously known for their real time strategy titles like the fantastic Rise of Nations and Rise of Legends, are set to spearhead THQ's efforts in the multi-billion dollar role-playing-game genre. Rather odd to ask a developer which is famed for it's RTS capabilities to develop a brand new RPG, but I'm no industry expert!
