BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
THQ Nordic’s showcase event last Friday was a blockbuster, revealing some big names, and detailing full slate of upcoming releases.
Big show
Heading off the oncoming rush of Gamescom announcements was THQ Nordic, as the publisher held a blockbuster event this past Friday. The show not only went into upcoming titles like Alone in the Dark, Last Train Home, and Gothic, but also saw some massive new game announcements.
Here’s the full presentation:
Just the highlights ma’am
If the above is a bit too long of a watch for you, no worries. We’ve got the full highlights as well, buy way of a handy dandy little list of trailers. And if you’re looking for surprises, you’re probably going to be pretty happy with what’s on tap.
The publisher took the wraps off of some pretty great looking stuff. That’s a list that included a long-awaited sequel with action RPG Titan Quest 2, a 4 player co-op South Park game, and a video game adaptation of the IDW Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles epic that is The Last Ronin.
Of course, some of this stuff you’re about to see is coming sooner than later, but some is more or less undated. Just something to keep in mind, as you try to temper that enthusiasm.
Titan Quest II
The legendary Action RPG makes its triumphant return! Once more, players will be immersed in the mythological realm of ancient Greece, facing unimaginable challenges, striving for exquisite loot, and combining different masteries to create unique, powerful character builds. Their ultimate goal is to stop Nemesis, the Goddess of Retribution herself, as she weaves malevolence into the Threads of Fate itself. Are you prepared to challenge a deity and etch your own heroic saga?
Forged in the creative crucible of Grimlore Games in Germany, Titan Quest II is currently under development. This epic odyssey is destined for PC, eagerly anticipated to launch when the time comes.
