For years now, publisher THQ Nordic has been hosting its annual games showcase during the later Summer months, announcing new games while offering updates on others. 2026 appears to be no different, with the publisher confirming that this year’s presentation will officially go live in August – delivering “a packed lineup of fresh updates and news across a wide range of our core IPs.”

Releasing a brief teaser trailer, publisher THQ Nordic have officially confirmed that they will be hosting their annual video games showcase once again in August. Going live on the 7th at 8PM BST, some of the titles set to be presented at the showcase have been revealed, including:

• Titan Quest II
• Wreckfest 2
• The Guild – Europa 1410
• Fatekeeper
• Expeditions: Samurai
• The Eternal Life of Goldman
• Way of the Hunter 2

Though not officially confirmed, other titles under the THQ umbrella may also be shown off, including the previously-announced Darksiders 4 and possibly DLC for the recently-released REANIMAL.

As a publisher, THQ Nordic has a ton of different IPs under its belt, and so we could see other franchises being represented – from SpongeBob Square Pants all the way to a brand new Gothic. We will have to wait and see.

KitGuru says: Are you excited for the THQ Nordic Showcase? Where do you place the publisher in comparison to the likes of EA and Ubisoft? What dormant IP would you like to see revived? Let us know down below.

With Unreal Engine 5 games becoming increasingly common on PC, it is always interesting to see which developers can actually tame Epic Games’ state-of-the-art engine rather than simply brute-forcing their way to good visuals at a massive performance cost. Fatekeeper is a very interesting case in that regard. THQ Nordic and Paraglacial’s dark fantasy first-person RPG is still in a very early access state, so it would be unfair to judge it as if it were a finished product. However, from a technical standpoint, Fatekeeper already manages to stand out as one of the most impressive Unreal Engine 5 releases […]

THQ Nordic and Alkimia Interactive have announced that Gothic 1 Remake sold over 500,000 copies during its first week across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The reimagined 2001 cult RPG also saw significant player engagement on Steam, peaking at nearly 78,000 concurrent players on June 7th.

Player feedback remains favorable, with the title gathering more than 21,000 Steam reviews and maintaining an 86% “Very Positive” rating. Game critics weren't as nice, with the game sitting at 72% (34 reviews) on OpenCritic, with only 55% recommending it.

Alkimia Interactive attributed this initial traction to a mix of newcomers and long-time fans of the 25-year-old franchise. Consequently, the studio plans to deliver ongoing support through further updates and refinements over the coming months.

This modern iteration features over 50 hours of gameplay content. It reconstructs the Kingdom of Myrtana and the Khorinis mines, where players control the Nameless Hero and navigate among three joinable factions. According to the publishers, the release includes a living world with scheduled daily NPC routines, as well as a modernised tactical combat system that preserves the original title's identity.

KitGuru says: Did you pick up the Gothic 1 Remake during its first week, or are you waiting for future patches?

The recently released Gothic 1 Remake from developer Alkimia Interactive and publisher THQ Nordic has officially reached 500,000 copies sold in just its first week on digital store shelves, the studio announced. It's a significant milestone not just because of its scale, but because it's done so during one of the nosiest months in the video game industry, Summer Game Fest 2026. This remake has been a long time coming, and the original Gothic was such an influential release when it first arrived all the way back in 2001, which gives it a leg up on an RPG like it […]

Yesterday, publisher THQ Nordic announced Expeditions: Samurai, the next game in the Expeditions RPG series. It is being developed by Campfire Cabal, a Copenhagen-based studio founded in 2022 and made up largely of former Logic Artists developers after the studio was closed down. In a media presentation attended by Wccftech, the team said it sees itself as the creator of the Expeditions IP, which has sold just over 1.3 million copies across the series. They presented the game after surviving a difficult studio period in 2023, when the team was nearly shut down and later rebuilt with support from THQ Nordic. For those […]

Weappy Studio's upcoming 2D platforming adventure, The Eternal Life of Goldman, was showcased today during the Xbox Partner Preview event.

We also learned that when The Eternal Life of Goldman does arrive, it'll be available on Xbox Game Pass on day-one. But, one key thing we did not learn from today's trailer, is when it'll be arriving, as it still, unfortunately, […]
