Despite word that the recent action title Darksiders was a sales disappointment, THQ is pressing on with a sequel, according to the latest investor earning call. The call also revealed that a new Red Faction game is also in the works, as is a sequel to the Wii title de Blob. The Red Faction and de Blob sequels are due in the fiscal 2011 year, while Darksiders 2 and a new Saints Row game are due in fiscal 2012.

I haven't yet played Darksiders, but I'm excited about this news. In the last few years, THQ has really transformed into an exciting company with a lot of interesting original franchises. I know a lot of gamers who love the Saints Row games and I ADORED Red Faction: Guerrilla so I happy to see that THQ will continue to fund exciting core games as part of its catalog.
