THQ has launched a new rival to the EA Partners label - called, unsurprisingly, THQ Partners.
The new division will give select and independent developers and publishers access to THQ's global retail and online publishing network.
EA's Partners programme has attracted the likes of Valve, Harmonix and Insomniac to its ranks - with the latter yesterday announcing it would distribute a new multiplatform franchise through EA.
"I'm extremely pleased to join THQ and launch THQ Partners," said Tim Walsh, Vice President, THQ Partners. "I'm looking forward to working with a select number of world-class developers and publishers to distribute their great games through our global network."
"THQ Partners is charged with maximizing the efficiencies of our global distribution network by enhancing our product offerings with quality games from developers and publishers who don't have the benefit of our extensive retail and online sales operations," said Ian Curran, Executive Vice President, THQ Global Publishing.
Walsh recently, served as EVP of publisher relations for IGA Worldwide.
THQ Partners will be meeting with interested parties at E3.
