"THQ has announced delays for three of its upcoming titles. South Park: The Stick of Truth, which was originally slated for a March 2013 release date, has now slipped to an unspecified date in early fiscal 2014. THQ&amp;#039;s fiscal year begins in April, suggesting a possible release in April, May or June.   THQ also pushed back Metro: Last Light and Company of Heroes 2 to arrive in March of 2013, later than originally planned. The delays will be used to add polish to the games, and THQ president Jason Rubin said: &amp;quot;Giving both of these titles time to reach their full potential is the right thing to do for the products.&amp;quot; The delays come as the company reports its second quarter results, which saw a drop in net sales year-on-year. The typically hour-long conference call with investors lasted less than 15 minutes, with the company refusing to take questions. THQ&amp;#039;s financial outlook also mentions that it is seeking strategic alternatives to help reach its goals in light of the game delays. Strategic alternatives is a phrase that commonly refers to seeking a buyer, either for one of the company&amp;#039;s intellectual properties or for the company itself. As if presenting a menu for other publishers, THQ added that it it is currently developing ten titles for fiscal 2014, including Saints Row 4, Homefront 2 and an unannounced game from Left 4 Dead developer Turtle Rock Studio. Earlier this year THQ released Darksiders 2, which was a critical success but has only sold 1.4 million copies so far. Later this month a Wii U version of Darksiders 2 will release, including all current DLC from the other versions and unique controls for the Wii U GamePad. It is the last game THQ is scheduled to release until Metro: Last Light and Company of Heroes 2. &amp;gt; Read Digital Spy&amp;#039;s review of &amp;#039;Darksiders 2&amp;#039; Watch the trailer for South Park: The Stick of Truth below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
