GameSpot is reporting (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6210324.html?part=rss&tag=gs_news&subj=6210324) Curt Schilling's 38 Studios has acquired Big Huge Games from THQ saving them from potential closure.
Curt Schilling might have been a starter in his Hall of Fame-worthy career as a Major League Baseball pitcher, but the ace added a rare save to his resume today. Schilling's 38 Studios today announced the acquisition of Big Huge Games from THQ, which in March put the strategy-role-playing game developer on notice that it would be closed if a buyer didn't surface in short order.
A representative for 38 Studios told GameSpot that Big Huge Games is continuing work on all the projects it had underway at the time of its acquisition, including an unnamed role-playing game for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. That project was originally revealed in 2007 and tied to high profile Big Huge Games hire Ken Rolston, lead designer on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. However, 38 Studios' plans for the developer extend to its own projects, specifically the massively multiplayer online game project code-named Copernicus.
