History
Established in 2003, THQ Studio Australia specialized in creating games based on well-known Nickelodeon television properties, consistently launching a new title each year between 2004 and 2008. The studio subsequently grew to include multiple development teams, working on movie-related projects such as The Last Airbender (2010), adapted from M. Night Shyamalan’s film, with their concluding release being DreamWorks Animation’s Megamind.
In August 2011, as part of a corporate restructuring by its parent company THQ, THQ Studio Australia was shut down.
