THQ Nordic’s 2024 Digital Showcase: A Glimpse into the Future of Gaming

At THQ Nordic, we pride ourselves on being a publisher that caters to a wide variety of gamers. No matter your gaming preferences, you’ll find a home in one of our digital realms. Our 2024 Digital Showcase is a testament to this diversity, featuring everything from a remake of a cherished Disney classic to a brand-new intellectual property (IP) from a renowned horror team, along with an adrenaline-packed racing game, and much more. Here’s a comprehensive look at what’s coming to Xbox in the near future.

The Eternal Life of Goldman

Our showcase kicked off with "The Eternal Life of Goldman," a new 2D adventure platformer developed by Weappy Studio, the creators behind "This Is the Police." This game invites players to navigate a mysterious archipelago as Goldman, with every frame of the game meticulously crafted in 2D animation. Each scene is imbued with the passion of developers who are finally creating the game they’ve always dreamed of.

In "The Eternal Life of Goldman," player freedom and a sense of wonder are at the heart of the design. The game rewards exploration, encouraging players to discover hidden nooks and crannies throughout the archipelago. The platforming sections are challenging yet fair, allowing players to experiment and find solutions that work best for them. Weappy Studio has designed these challenges to be engaging and thought-provoking rather than frustrating.

Stay tuned for more updates on "The Eternal Life of Goldman" before the year ends. In the meantime, be sure to add the game to your wishlist on Xbox to receive the latest news and updates.

Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed

Get ready to pick up your brush and decide the fate of Wasteland! "Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed" is set to release on September 24, bringing with it the power to shape a mysterious world. In this classic 3D platformer, players will use paint and thinner to restore harmony and uncover secrets, all while spending time with beloved Disney characters and exploring levels inspired by Mickey Mouse’s rich history.

Whether you’re revisiting Wasteland after fourteen years or experiencing it for the first time, "Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed" is a must-play for any Disney fan. We can’t wait for you to join us on this magical adventure later this year.

Wreckfest 2

Prepare to customize your ride and take your personal wrecking machine online in "Wreckfest 2." This game offers a range of events designed for maximum vehicular chaos, with unprecedented damage modeling fidelity thanks to the power of Xbox Series consoles. Each event will leave your car’s bodywork telling its own story of destruction.

Bugbear Entertainment, the team behind "Wreckfest 2," is dedicated to giving players the freedom to wreck however they want. Whether it’s trading paint in traditional races, navigating obstacle courses, or settling scores in classic destruction derby matches, the choice is yours. Keep your engines running, as more details on "Wreckfest 2" are coming soon.

Titan Quest II

When we announced "Titan Quest II" a year ago, the community’s support was overwhelming. The reveal trailer quickly became one of our most-watched videos ever. To thank you for your excitement, we’re taking the next step in "Titan Quest II’s" journey with the debut gameplay trailer.

In this broadcast, ARPG (Action Role-Playing Game) fans got their first look at the stunning Ancient Greek landscapes of "Titan Quest II" and the legendary powers players will wield to combat Nemesis’ vengeful hordes. Grimlore Games, the development team, is creating a world that feels rewarding to explore, with adversaries lurking around every corner, ready to drop meaningful loot that can transform your playstyle.

Customization is at the heart of "Titan Quest II," allowing players to create heroes that feel uniquely personal. From appearance to a vast array of skill and equipment combinations, your hero’s journey is yours to shape. Whether you’re adventuring solo or teaming up with friends online, "Titan Quest II" promises an odyssey unlike any other, appealing to both ARPG veterans and newcomers.

Gothic 1 Remake

Since the reveal of the "Gothic 1 Remake" in 2020, the support from fans has been incredible. Alkimia Interactive, the team behind the remake, has been motivated by the excitement from both die-hard Gothic fans and RPG players in general.

The "Gothic 1 Remake" features a fully realized ecosystem and influential factions vying for control of the land. While the game will feel familiar to long-time fans, it has been updated to harness the power of next-gen consoles. Expect overhauled gameplay and visuals, deeper progression and crafting systems, and varied NPC routines and interactions.

No matter which faction you choose to align with—the ore-rich Old Camp, the scheming New Camp, or the Brotherhood of the Sleeper—the world of "Gothic 1 Remake" is mysterious and unforgiving, soon ready for exploration.

Way of the Hunter: Lintukoto Reserve

As with last year, the THQ Nordic Showcase marks the release of the latest DLC (Downloadable Content) for "Way of the Hunter." This time, the hunt takes players to the Scandinavian wilderness in the Lintukoto Reserve.

The Lintukoto Reserve is a fictionalized vision of tranquil forests, glowing with magical moonlight, vast meadows teeming with wildlife, and snow-dusted hills. New endemic wildlife, including lynxes and arctic foxes, populate this beautiful scenery, each with unique behaviors. The team at Nine Rocks has spent months meticulously crafting every inch of this new DLC, and it’s now available for you to explore.

A New Tale From Tarsier Studios

"They’re coming."

This cryptic message teases a new vision of horror from Tarsier Studios, the team behind "Little Nightmares I & II." For more details, tune in to Gamescom Opening Night Live on Tuesday, August 20, at 11 am PT/8 pm CEST. This reveal promises to be a highlight of the year.

The Future of Darksiders

The showcase wouldn’t be complete without one final, tantalizing reveal. The future of the "Darksiders" series is on the horizon. The foreboding rumble of ancient caverns and embers swirling through the air set the stage for an epic announcement. Three enormous heads, carved from otherworldly stone, burst into life with mystical flames, roaring a single word in unison: HORSEMAN.

While we can’t reveal much more at this moment, rest assured that the Four Horsemen will ride again. Stay tuned for more updates on the next chapter in the "Darksiders" saga.
