Rumor: THQ to release Nyteblayde video game, vampire hunter turned vampire
For all you Saints Row fans, it looks like THQ will have a Nyteblayde mini game in Saints Row: The Third, set to release on November 15, 2011.
I found two new domain names registered this week by THQ that point to the possible game – nyteblayde.com and nyteblade.com.
Domain Name: NYTEBLAYDE.COM
Created on: 08-Jun-11
Expires on: 08-Jun-13
Last Updated on: 08-Jun-11
Domain servers in listed order:
NS1.THQ.COM
NS2.THQ.COM
NS3.THQ.COM
Both domain names were registered on June 8th using a thq.com email address according to GoDaddy’s Account Retrieval System.
According to the Saints Row Wiki, Josh “Nyteblade” Birk is game character well-known for his acting role as Nyteblayde in a Saints Row TV show about a vampire hunter turned vampire, who is hunted by the organization he once worked for.
Activision hints at ‘Call of Duty Elite’ prizes and awards with newest domain registrations
In the past few days, details have been surfacing about Activision’s Call of Duty Elite subscription service that is scheduled to go live in November 2011. The service will begin its closed beta test later this summer and promises to be innovative by letting you to connect, compete and improve your Call of Duty experience.
Though there have been grumblings over a paid subscription service, it looks like Activision has plans to offer incentives in the form of awards and prizes — based on the company’s newest domain registrations this week.
The gaming company registered two new domains on June 7, 2011.
