Freespace (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/freespace/), the interstellar combat series developed by Volition and published by Interplay, is now back in Interplay's library, fully and officially (http://www.kccllc.net/documents/1213398/1213398130604000000000002.pdf), following a stint at THQ. Interplay paid $7,500 to snag the Freespace rights in a THQ bankruptcy (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/thq-bankruptcy/) sale this month. THQ was bound to find some emotionally rich items in the back corners of its closet eventually - but Freespace wasn't going to save the company, it seems.
Interplay never lost (http://www.gog.com/gamecard/freespace_2) the right to sell Descent: Freespace and Freespace 2, even after THQ bought Volition in 2000, when Interplay itself neared bankruptcy. Let the rampant sequel speculation (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/08/someone-had-to-go-and-bring-up-freespace-3-again/) begin.http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.joystiq.com)Interplay retrieves Freespace IP from THQ for $7,500 (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/09/interplay-retrieves-freespace-ip-from-thq-for-7-500/) originally appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com) on Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:00:00 EST.
