It seems the team over at THQ’s Vigil Games will soon be movin’ on up to a massive new studio in Austin, Texas. Kotaku reports that the 33,000-square foot office should provide Vigil the space it needs to continue development on its apocalyptic action title Darksiders <span class="tooltip-content"> <span class='tooltip-tab-wrapper active' onclick='tooltiptab(this);'><span class='tooltip-tab xbox-360'></span></span> <span class='tooltip-tab-wrapper' onclick='tooltiptab(this);'><span class='tooltip-tab PS3'></span></span> <span class='tooltip-active tooltip2 xbox-360'><div class='tooltip-name'><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/xbox-360/36636/darksiders/index/" title="Darksiders">Darksiders</a></div><hr /><span class='tooltip-column'><ul> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/xbox-360/36636/darksiders/news/" title="Darksiders news">News</a></h6> (13)</li> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/xbox-360/36636/darksiders/news/" title="Darksiders news">Previews</a></h6> (6)</li> <li><h6>Review</h6></li> </ul></span><span class='tooltip-column'><ul> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/xbox-360/36636/darksiders/videos/" title="Darksiders videos">Videos</a></h6> (23)</li> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/xbox-360/36636/darksiders/screenshots-and-images/" title="Darksiders screenshots &amp; images">Screenshots</a></h6> (86)</li> <li><h6>Cheats and Walkthroughs</h6></li> </ul> </span><div style='clear:both;'></div></span> <span class='tooltip2 PS3'><div class='tooltip-name'><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/ps3/36635/darksiders/index/" title="Darksiders">Darksiders</a></div><hr /><span class='tooltip-column'><ul> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/ps3/36635/darksiders/news/" title="Darksiders news">News</a></h6> (13)</li> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/ps3/36635/darksiders/news/" title="Darksiders news">Previews</a></h6> (6)</li> <li><h6>Review</h6></li> </ul></span><span class='tooltip-column'><ul> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/ps3/36635/darksiders/videos/" title="Darksiders videos">Videos</a></h6> (23)</li> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/ps3/36635/darksiders/screenshots-and-images/" title="Darksiders screenshots &amp; images">Screenshots</a></h6> (86)</li> <li><h6>Cheats and Walkthroughs</h6></li> </ul> </span><div style='clear:both;'></div></span> </span><div class="arrow"></div> (January 2010 – Xbox 360, PS3), as well as on its Warhammer 40,000 MMO that is still a few years out.

THQ said of the big move, “We are very excited about the strong development talent at Vigil Games and we view Austin as a great location to attract employees engaged in video game development.”

And attracting new blood will soon be more important than ever, given that THQ plans to lay off as many as 600 employees over the coming months.
