Recap of THQ Nordic’s Annual Showcase – PlayStation.Blog

Sure thing, here we go:

So, I just got through the THQ Nordic 2025 Showcase and man, what a ride. I mean, they really threw a bunch at us—like, oceans of stuff. New details on “Tides of Tomorrow,” “SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide,” the “Gothic 1 Remake,” and other surprises. I swear, my brain’s still trying to catch up.

Okay, let’s break this down. Or at least try to. Here goes nothing.

First off, folks who gave us “Little Nightmares” are cooking up something fresh—”Reanimal.” Sounds creepy, right? Well, the trailer had all these creepy-crawly vibes, showing off crazy new landscapes and characters. The kind you don’t wanna bump into in a dark alley, or a game, or like, anywhere. The story seems intense, with online and couch co-op, so you don’t have to freak out alone.

Now, on the flip side of the gaming spectrum, SpongeBob’s bouncing back—literally. “SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide” hits PS5 on November 18. And get this, you can play as both SpongeBob and Patrick. David Hasselhoff’s in there too, just because why not, I guess.

Oh, and if you’re the collecting type, there’s a Ghostly Edition with all these fancy extras. Steelbook, keychain, you name it. Kind of makes even the non-collector in me wonder if my shelf’s got room.

Next up, RPG fans, perk those ears up. The classic “Gothic” is getting a makeover, thanks to Alkimia Interactive. They’re pouring their hearts into this, making it shiny and new for today’s gamers. And there’s a demo out—today! So you can relive that iconic “Valley of the Mines” moment. Just, no spoilers, okay?

Now, slide over to something darker, “Eternal Life of Goldman.” This one screams moody and atmospheric, like, in-your-bones kinda vibes. The gameplay mixes precision with a treasure hunt feel. You step into Goldman’s shoes—and, honestly, it looks like he’s been through the grinder.

Switching gears—Digixart dropped tidbits about “Tides of Tomorrow.” It’s shaping up to be some kind of post-apocalyptic wonderland, where your choices decide everything. No pressure, right?

Speaking of adrenaline, BugBear Entertainment’s back with the “Wreckfest” sequel. High-octane chaos at its finest. This destruction derby lets you smash and crash until there’s nothing left. The kind of game you need after, say, a rough Monday.

And then, there’s “Titan Quest II,” diving into myth and legend, slashing through ancient Greece. Character customization looks wild—no classes, just mix and match until you’ve got your epic hero. Legendary creatures and gods? Sounds like a Tuesday to me.

Finishing up with “Wreckreation”—the game’s name kinda says it all. Picture this: 60 cars, a soundtrack that changes on your whim, and level-building at the touch of a button. Ever raced over a dinosaur’s head? Me neither, but here’s your chance.

Gamescom’s around the corner, and hey, if they’re showing these games there, you might wanna pop by and mess around a bit. So much to dissect, so little time. Who’s up for a marathon?
