THQ has outlined the new core titles that they hope will help the company's ailing fortunes.

There are 17 titles in all, beginning with this month's release, Undisputed 3 running into 2014 which will hopefully reverse the damage done by the expensive failure of THQ's uDraw tablet device and a slew of poor children's titles.

2012's other releases are their sequel II, the newly announced RPG South Park: The Game and their annual WWE title.

Metro: Last Light has been pushed into the beginning of 2013 and now joins Tomonobu Itagaki's The Devil's Third, and two more unannounced core projects (one of those potentially being another WWE title).

Currently slated for 2014 are the first of Guillermo Del Toro's collaborations with Volition, inSANE, 2 at Crytek, Patrice Desilet's project at Montreal, one unannounced title by Turtle Rock Studios and another four unannounced titles based on THQ-owned IPs. Also in the pipeline is the Vigil-developed 40K: Dark Millenium.

Thanks MCV.
