THQ announced last month that they were looking to either close or sell off developer Big Huge Games inside of 60 days. Now rumors have hit (via the Develop web site) that the Maryland-based developer is already having to let go of some workers ahead of THQ's deadline.

The story, which uses unnamed sources, does not specify how many of Big Huge's team are currently looking for work saying only that the numbers were "huge". The developer's official web site currently lists over 120 team members. THQ only bought the Rise of Nations developer a little over a year ago. The team has been working on a still hush-hush open world RPG game with a number of former Bethesda Softworks team members.
