Look into the future of THQ and you will find that the company is hard at work on titles designed to appeal to a wide audience, though many of those titles might not hold a lot of interest for hardcore gamers.

I must note that I’ve never actually played any of the previous entries in the series....

If you’re one of the people who’s been enjoying being a vampire while hunting and being hunted by a bunch of other vampires, then this is undoubtedly a bit disappointing, especially with the Early Access cutoff coming so soon....
