THQ taking bids for Darksiders, Red Faction, Homeworld et al from 1st April

And Titan Quest and Costume Quest and Stacking, and and and...

THQ will start taking bids for its remaining IP from 1st April at a court-supervised auction.

Six lots of THQ IP are up for grabs. Included are Darksiders, Red Faction, Homeworld, Titan Quest, Costume Quest and Stacking.

There's still no word on the Warhammer 40K licence, which we presume Sega - the new owner of Relic - is in the process of negotiating.

Get your initial bids in by April Fool's Day to be in the running. Final bids will need to be in by 15th April.

The first THQ auction happened in January. In it, Relic and Company of Heroes were bought by Sega; Volition and Saints Row and Metro were bought by Koch Media; THQ Montreal and the South Park RPG were bought by Ubisoft; Homefront was bought by Crytek; and in-development title Evolve was bought by Take-Two.

Mmm, Homeworld.
