BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
THQ Nordic is going to be busy, with the Gothic remake, the sequels to Wreckfest and Titan Quest, a remaster of Sacred 2, and much more.
No, not alone
Ever since the original Darksiders game came to a close, with War’s siblings arriving on Earth, fans have been waiting to see the Four Horsemen together on screen. Now it looks like that’s exactly what players will be in for, when Darksiders 4 finally arrives. Unfortunately, we don’t have a date for that anticipated title’s particular launch, but the game has been finally shown off today and the cinematic trailer is enough to get us pumped.
Darksiders 4 was just one of a series of announcements and updates, all of which were a part of the THQ Nordic Showcase. It was a presentation that included a few surprises, like Sacred 2 Remaster, the colorful 3D platformer SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide, smash ’em up racer Wreckreation, and the visually-stunning dark-fantasy title, Fatekeeper.
The full broadcast was over a half an hour in length, with minimal narration, and you can check that out below. Want to see something particular? Scroll past the full show and dig into the individual listings. Oh,, before you go any further though, there’s also a sale to tell you about.
As a part of the festivities, the THQ Nordic Showcase Sale has launched on Steam. The publisher says that fans should expect “deep discounts on beloved titles like Darksiders (up to 80% off), plus some brand-new offers”. Among the latter, is a whopping 60% off of Jagged Alliance 3, and a matching 60% off of Alone in the Dark, which is also sporting a lower standard price.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide
Are you ready, kids? THQ Nordic and developer Purple Lamp are thrilled to announce SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide, a new single-player 3D platforming adventure within the SpongeBob SquarePants franchise coming soon to PC, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2™. When the Flying Dutchman and King Neptune’s egos collide, the result is pure undersea chaos: spectral mayhem spreads across Bikini Bottom, and only two brave(ish) heroes can set things right. SpongeBob and Patrick must team up, combine their unique skills, and (hopefully) stop the total ghostification of their world.
