Guillermo del Toro's inSANE Trilogy is Shelved by THQ

In what is actually a generally positive Q1 report for THQ, the publisher has announced that it's shelved Guillermo del Toro's inSANE trilogy with all IP rights returned to the movie director, whose films include the likes of Hellboy, Blade II and Pan's Labyrinth.

“We have decided not to pursue further pre-production on inSANE, and have returned all of our IP rights to Guillermo del Toro," THQ President Jason Rubin confirmed to investors on a conference call. "By cancelling these explorations outside of our core business, we feel we can improve focus on our core game portfolio, which remains unchanged.”

It's likely that developer Volition's work on other projects such as Saints Row 4 and del Toro's numerous movie projects in the pipeline has also put the brakes on inSANE, and it's unclear at what stage the game was at in its production. Based on last year's report that inSANE was still two or three years away, it's possible that it was still in pre-production.

  • Im still very very interested to see what this is all about in the end. Hope to see it sometime in 2013 =D
  • What a shame Del Toro has the mind and talent to blow us away on movies i cant even imagine what amazing visual effects an storys he could have told us in a game. Maybe someone else well give him a shot. We need someone like this with original ideas. ENOUGH with all the secuals please i mean i love some of ths games, but its like AC 3 Uncharted 3 Gears 3 God of War what like 7 or 8. Yes this game are great but its the same idea give us something new. Something that well glue me to the TV for more than 8 or 10 hours. And the t after beating the game i well still want to play. I mean we are paying good money for this games. Give us our moneys worth PLEASE...
