THQ Nordic Invites You to the 2025 Digital Showcase

Alright folks, so there I was, wandering around the annual THQ Nordic Digital Showcase. Not sure why, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that I should’ve been somewhere else. But hey, gamers got their feast – fresh gameplay snippets for a heap of titles like Reanimal and Tides of Tomorrow. There’s more, obviously. Oh, and Xbox peeps can dive into the Gothic 1 Remake demo right about… now-ish?

Here’s a scrambled recap ’cause who needs order, right?

SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide — Pre-Order Madness

Okay, so SpongeBob fans, your moment has arrived! Pre-orders for "Titans of the Tide" are live. You get to play as SpongeBob and Patrick, switching whenever, like magic. That’s something fans have begged for forever. Release day’s November 18 on Xbox Series X|S, if calendars matter to you. David Hasselhoff’s doing the tunes – yes, that guy.

If you pre-order, there’s a Natural Costume Pack DLC bonus. No idea what that even means, but it sounds neat. Ghostly Digital Edition open to those who crave more. The Tidal Season Pass has extra levels, costumes, the works.

Jump into the Gothic Remake Demo – Like, Right Now

Gothic fans, head back to the Valley of the Mines, demo’s here. Dive into the Nyras Prologue. Feels like wandering into wonderland minus the spoilers. This gem isn’t in the final game, though. It’s like sampling forbidden fruit? RPG vets, rejoice. Oh, and mark 2026 for Gothic Classics 1, 2, and 3.

Exploring The Eternal Life of Goldman

Got a sneak peek at this trailer – Goldman, dude’s life is… shattered? Or maybe he’s just melodramatic. Either way, it’s a platformer delight with depth. Think twisted scenes, dark but explorable realms. Balanced storytelling with platform bits.

Reanimal First Look – A Spooky Treasure

Let’s talk horror – Reanimal showed off some gameplay. Creators of Little Nightmares took a plunge again! Monsters, orphans, a rich story. It’s like a horror pie. Did I mention multiplayer? Both online and couch co-op.

Tides of Tomorrow – Waves of Awesomeness?

Digixart, the Route 96 legends, teased us. Asynchronous gameplay is the buzzword. Colorful, apocalyptic, with storytelling so rich it might spoil. Choices? They matter here.

Wreckfest 2 Zooming in 2026

Demolition lovers, good news! Wreckfest 2’s coming in 2026. Smash, crash, dash, the usual madness, but on steroids. Realistic damage and blend of styles. Arcade? Simulation? Why not both!

Titan Quest II – Ancient Adventures Await in 2026

Embark on mythological journeys without classes holding you back. Masteries let players mix’n’match. Think ancient Greece, legendary creatures, and maybe gods? 2026 is the year, just FYI.

Chaos in Wreckreation: Customize to Infinity

Imagine creating highways in mid-game, racing over dinosaurs, indulging in creative havoc. Wreckreation fulfills wacky dreams, laid bare in a new trailer. Coming later this year!

By the way, Gamescom’s around the corner. Xbox players, ready up for hands-on fun with Reanimal, SpongeBob, and more. Dev folks? Yeah, they’ll yak about insights, believe it or not.

Anyway, where was I? Lost track, doesn’t matter. See ya at the next event – maybe.
