THQ Plans Ahead

Two previously unannounced PlayStation titles will come from THQ, GameSpot News learned on Friday. Expect a port of Japanese RPG Granstream Saga and yet another in THQ's line of successful WCW wrestling games.

Set for a June release, Granstream Saga is an RPG developed by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. Little is known about the title other than the fact that it features real-time fighting, animated scenes a la Ghost in the Shell, and a 3D polygonal world.

And, aimed for the end of the year, is a new, still-unnamed wrestling title based on the WCW TV program, Thunder.

THQ's remaining release schedule for '98 looks a little something like this:
