THQ Forms Incinerator Studios

THQ opened up new studios set for Next-Gen development: the Incinerator studios.

THQ today announced the formation of its new development team, Incinerator Games, the latest addition to THQ's growing internal Studio System. Based in Carlsbad, California, Incinerator is comprised of veterans of the Twisted Metal, NFL GameDay and MLB 2006: The Show projects from Sony's 989 studios, as well as the Midnight Club franchise from Rockstar. Incinerator is primarily focused on development for next generation consoles.

"The addition of Incinerator Games is another example of our dedication to enhance and expand our internal development capabilities," said Jack Sorensen, executive vice president of worldwide studios, THQ. "We're really excited to see the Incinerator team begin to bring its own ideas for next generation development to THQ."

Incinerator is currently working on next-generation console versions of Disney/Pixar's latest blockbuster Cars. The game is scheduled for release on the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Nintendo Wii this fall. The team is also working on future projects for next generation systems.
