THQ Nordic returned for another year of their digital showcase, mainly focusing on things we knew were in development while disappointingly not giving any release dates to games people were hoping to see them attached to, like the AEW game.
Here are all the trailers and news from the THQ Nordic Showcase.
A remake of the original 1992 Alone in the Dark was revealed at the start of the THQ Nordic Showcase. It looks to feature a more action-heavy mix of gameplay with the puzzles and story elements that made the game what it was when it was originally released.
Alone in the Dark is in development for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
A “build-up simulation game” has you controlling a cute little astronaut who just bought a whole solar system and must now gather resources and build up the planets.
Developer Three Fields Entertainment revealed their 400-square-kilometre open-world game, Wreckreation. The open-world size and use are hard to wrap your head around, but the track creation, being able to play with friends, and the game’s general hecticness all look good to me.
Unfortunately, this trailer did leak a week ago, and there wasn’t a release date here, but THQ Nordic is the official publisher of All Elite Wrestling’s first video game. For fans of the old-school WWE game, this is being developed by Yukes, who did the best work on those games.
The game will be playable for the first time at Gamescom for those in attendance.
A new trailer for StuntFest: World Tour showed off how intense and hectic the gameplay can get in a game that combines racing speed and action of extreme sports.
Following on from their work on SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated, developer Purple Lamp is now set to release an original SpongeBob story in SpongeBob Square: The Cosmic Shake. In the game, SpongeBob and their friends get whipped around many different worlds, leading to SpongeBob wearing different outfits and having access to different abilities.
South Park
Right at the end of the showcase, it was randomly revealed in a blink, and you’ll miss it moment that THQ Nordic is working with South Park Digital Studios on a game.
You can watch the full showcase in the video below.
