Ubisoft already had a presence in the great white north of Montreal, but it got a whole lot bigger with the announcement that it was welcoming THQ Montreal into the fold. Ubisoft Montreal head Yannis Mallat has talked about the acquisition positively, but suggested that a lot of the decisions regarding staff and current projects are in the process of being evaluated.
In an auctioning process, THQ has sold many of its studios and upcoming games. Sega has agreed to purchase Relic Entertainment, developer of the upcoming Company of Heroes 2. Given the publisher's penchant for PC strategy games (like the Total War series), Relic's future may be relatively safe in the House of Sonic. According to @DDInvesting, Sega fronted $26 million in the auction, proving they want ownership of the PC strategy space.
Koch Media, owner of the Deep Silver publishing label, has agreed to purchase publishing rights for Metro: Last Light, and Volition, developer of THQ's successful Saints Row franchise. Koch Media offered $22.3 million for Volition, $5.8 million for Metro.
The bankruptcy auction of THQ's assets is happening today, but South Park Studios is objecting to any sale of South Park: The Stick of Truth without it having a final say in who gets the license.

There's a lot to be excited for in 2013, and the Shacknews staff each have five games on their radar. The editorial team at Shacknews outlines their most anticipated games of 2013 individually. Next up, we've got staff writer Ozzie Mejia's list of next year's titles.
The VGAs unveiled some interesting tidbits on Friday, from a release date for The Last of Us to the announcement of Dark Souls 2 to the unveiling of a suspiciously Metal-Gear-Solid-5 looking title called The Phantom Pain. There were also plenty of new trailers and here they are in case you missed them.
Obsidian's South Park RPG has been delayed again. The Stick of Truth, planned for a March release, has now been postponed to "early fiscal 2014." Don't worry folks, that means it will still arrive in 2013, some time after April.

Hyperviolence was all the rage at this year's E3. However, only one hyperviolent game could take the crown. The Game Critics Awards have finally been determined, and Naughty Dog has come on top with The Last of Us. Its strong performance pushed PS3 to the top of the heap, with PS3 as the most-winning platform. Sony Computer Entertainment is the most-winning publisher as well, with 7 awards.
Having announced a delay for South Park: The Stick of Truth only a few weeks ago, THQ coughed up a hefty wad of news on Obsidian's action-RPG today at E3. It'll arrive on March 5, 2013, then the first DLC packs will be timed-exclusives for Xbox 360.
THQ has had a rough year with layoffs, a lawsuit, a threatened delisting from NASDAQ and financial problems that have forced the company to limit its E3 presence to only a meeting room instead of a large display booth.
Between layoffs, the threat of a NASDAQ delisting, and a lawsuit, it's safe to say THQ has had its share of difficulties over the last several months. More is riding on the publisher's current portfolio than usual, and now it's trying to polish its tent-pole titles to perfection.
Obsidian Entertainment, developers of Neverwinter Nights 2, Alpha Protocol, Fallout: New Vegas, and the upcoming South Park game, has been hit with layoffs. While the company has yet to return Shacknews' request for comments, messages on Twitter and the company's message boards appear to confirm the downsizing.
