Following THQ's dissolution as a publisher and the initial auctioning off of its current properties and games in development, the publisher had noted that many of its legacy franchises would also be going up for auction in a separate volley. Late yesterday, THQ announced the second wave of property auctions, which will begin on April 1 with opening bids, and conclude on April 15 with all final bids having been placed.

The auctions are broken out into six lots, four of which are franchise specific. The Red Faction, MX vs. ATV, Darksiders, and Homeworld franchises will all be purchasable separately (and include rights to all previous games released in those series), while a potpourri selection of other random games/franchises--including the likes of Destroy All Humans!, de Blob, Titan Quest, Deepak Chopra's Leela, recent Worms games, Costume Quest, and yes, even uDraw--have been cobbled together in the remaining two. It's worth noting that one of those collection auctions only pertains to licenses held by THQ, versus properties fully owned.

Once all bids are placed and approved by THQ's creditors, the remnants of the publisher will take those bids to the bankruptcy court, where they are expected to be approved. All of these bids and sales should be finalized by May.

Here's a full rundown of the available auction lots, provided this is something you're thinking about spending some money on. Just a warning: There's no sign of Big Mutha Truckers in this auction. So if you're dying to reboot this particular trucking franchise, you'll have to wait until the next THQ property auction.

[Great Rumbler]

Titan Quest

[Joe Molotov]

lol @ Lot 5 

[Great Rumbler]

Lot 5 will probably sell for about $10.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

I'd own Titan Quest ip for $10  :babylawd

[Great Rumbler]

Crate Entertainment would probably like to get their hands on it, too bad it's packed together with a load of junk.

[benjipwns]

Watch somebody like UbiSoft pay millions to get Lot 5 for uDraw.

[benjipwns]

I wonder if the terms would allow a bunch of smaller developers to team up in some manner to bid on a lot and then split it up among themselves after. I know some auctions won't allow that kind of thing.

[Eel O'Brian]

think of what we could do with to all star cheer squad

Yeah, my reaction to the giant lots of was some folks should group up and buy them then sell 'em off piecemeal/dole 'em out to who wants.

Lot 5 is best lot (apart from Homeworld lot)
