THQ Nordic 10th Anniversary: ​​Every New Game Announced

THQ Nordic celebrated its 10th anniversary today with a live streaming event featuring tons of new game announcements. THQ Nordic revealed eight new games currently in development at its many, many game development studios.

During the 30-minute show, THQ Nordic revealed multiple games ranging from remasters to surprise sequels. Some games, like Destroy All Humans! 2 Reprobed leaked ahead of schedule, but there were still plenty of surprises left.

Check out all the games THQ Nordic announced below.

Destroy all humans 2! Reprobate

A remake of the original Destroy All Humans 2 was leaked a bit earlier by accident, but THQ Nordic had a full reveal planned for its 10th anniversary. The developers are calling Destroy All Humans 2 Reprobed a full remake, building the entire game from scratch, although the title will retain the old voiceovers.

There’s also some new tech under the hood with a new destruction physics engine. So destroying buildings on a space shuttle will be even more dynamic. Developer Black Forest Games also announced that the split-screen co-op will be available in the remake of the sequel.

Outcast 2: A New Beginning

The 1999 cult open-world action-adventure game Outcast from developer Appeal is getting a sequel. Space Marine Cutter Slade will star in a new adventure for the first time in two decades.

Outcast was one of the first true open world games in the modern age and its sense of scale and exploration was ahead of anything else in its day. Outcast 2 will once again put players into a massive alien open world for them to explore. Although there are certainly more open world games today than there were in 1999.

To help preserve the feel of the original, the Outcast 2 developers include 10 members of the original development team. Outcast 2 is also being developed exclusively for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC.

Jagged Alliance 3

Jagged Alliance 3 is the first true sequel to the Jagged Alliance tactical RPG series since 1999’s Jagged Alliance 2. Developed by the Surviving Mars team at Haemimont Games, Jagged Alliance modernizes the turn-based tactics of the original.

Rome expeditions

Expeditions Rome is a turn-based tactical RPG set in the ancient Roman Republic in the time of Julius Caesar. Players will play a young commander of the Roman Legion who must win victories on the battlefield and rise through the ranks to command Roman armies against barbarian hordes.

Like a true role-playing game, players will have to make decisions throughout the game that will affect the development of the story. The developers say that even small decisions will have a big impact on the story.

MX vs ATV Legends

Superpower 3

ELEX 2

The 2017 ELEX was an ambitious sci-fi RPG that was released at the height of the RPG gold rush in Europe. And while the story was clever and often fascinating, it was riddled with errors and poor balance.

But the sequel seeks to build on the first game and hopefully fix some of the core mechanical issues along the way with ELEX 2. THQ Nordic only released a cinematic trailer, so time will tell how the game evolves, but not. we will say. no to second chances if that means a continuation of the main ELEX story.

Spongebob Squarepants: The Cosmic Shake

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake is a brand new game for everyone’s favorite underwater sponge. No footage of the game was revealed, but the trailer for The Cosmic Shake was like a huge success for some of the show’s best SpongeBob moments, set in his famous performance “Sweet Victory” from The Bubble Bowl.
