http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/9/2010/02/500x_deblob.jpg THQ is rolling out the sequels in fiscal year 2012, with releases planned for Saint's Row 3 (http://kotaku.com/tag/saintsrow3/), a Darksiders sequel, and a follow-up to the Wii-exclusive hit de Blob (http://kotaku.com/tag/deblob/).
During the THQ investor call today, CEO Brian Farrell continued listing off upcoming games after outing a new Red Faction title and Homefront (http://kotaku.com/5463634/red-faction-guerrilla-sequel-bound-for-e3-2010-due-by-april-11) for release during fiscal year 2011, with three more sequels planned for release during fiscal year 2012, which runs from April of 2011 to March of the following year.
A new Darksiders title is a no-brainer, consider the success the first has seen, especially during one of the busiest post-holiday seasons in recent memory. The Saint's Row series of Grand Theft Auto-inspired games is also a big breadwinner for the company, so fans can expect to see Saint's Row 3 as well.
The biggest surprise for me is a follow-up to de Blob (http://kotaku.com/5057965/de-blob-review-painting-a-very-pretty-picture), which remains one of my favorite titles on the Nintendo Wii even now, after a year and four months of new Wii titles have come and gone. I didn't think the game had done well enough to warrant a sequel, but I am tremendously excited to learn otherwise.
Now I realize the Darksiders fans will be the most vocal in the comments section, but can I get a little de Blob love?
