Long time video games publisher THQ has officially filed for bankruptcy, according to multiple sources.

The company confirmed the sale themselves saying that much of the company's assets were sold to a "stalking horse bidder" who happen to be affiliates of the Clearlake Capital Group.

Marketwatch is reporting that THQ has filed for Chapter 11 of the US bankruptcy court for the District of Delaware.
