THQ Nordic announces its own event with new games
In order to celebrate the big ten-year anniversary, the publisher THQ Nordic is organizing a digital event on September 17, 2021 at 9:00 p.m. The show will be moderated by Geoff Keighley, who also moderated the Opening Night Live. According to the publisher, the announcement of a total of six new games will be on the program at the showcase. This includes the revival of legendary brands that many fans have been waiting for for a long time.This formulation in particular leaves a lot of space for speculation. It could therefore be that THQ Nordic announces an official successor to Titan Quest during the event. This brand was hugely popular with fans and would definitely be a candidate for such a revival. Furthermore there is the presentation of a remake of Destroy all Humans! 2 in the realm of the possible. After all, the drilled out version of the predecessor has sold well. Other brands that belong to the THQ Nordic portfolio include Darksiders, Wreckfest, AquaNox, Spellforce, Elex, Jagged Alliance and Desperados. There are therefore numerous possibilities for interesting announcements.
In any case, there should be details of the role-playing game Elex 2 already presented. You can follow the anniversary event on Twitch as well as on YouTube and Steam. Incidentally, the pre-show that will take place before will focus primarily on indie and mobile titles. However, more precise details are not yet known.

THQ Nordic announces anniversary event with 6 new game reveals slated
We’ve seen a ton of different reveal events over the summer, from E3 and Gamescom to Summer Games Fest and all of the standalone events publishers decided to host on their own. Today, however, we’re learning that the reveal events aren’t quite over yet. Not only did Sony confirm details of the next PlayStation Showcase earlier today, but now THQ Nordic has announced a reveal event of its own.
Specifically, this event will be held for THQ Nordic’s 10th anniversary and will be hosted by Geoff Keighley, a person we’ve seen a lot of over this past summer. The event is slated to kick off at 12 PM PDT/3 PM EDT on September 17th, with THQ Nordic streaming it on YouTube, Twitch, and even Steam.
In follow-up tweets, THQ Nordic says that the event will feature six new games. “Withness the return of legendary franchises and sequels to beloved games,” that tweet reads. “We hope you’re ready, kids!” Obviously, we don’t know what exactly those franchises are, but THQ Nordic has since clarified that new TimeSplitters and Red Faction games won’t be on the docket, as those IPs are currently in the hands of sister companies Deep Silver and Koch Media, respectively.
It’s possible we could see new entries in the Second Sight, Risen, or even Sacred franchises, but THQ Nordic is a company that owns a lot of IP so there are a ton of potential reveals that could happen. In subsequent tweets, THQ Nordic confirms that Elex II and Expeditions: Rome will be on the docket, so we can least expect those.
Given the timing of this event, we wouldn’t be surprised to see the reveal of something Amalur-related, whether that’s the upcoming Fatesworn expansion for Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Recoking or an entirely new Amalur game. We’ll just have to tune in next week to see what THQ Nordic has in store, so stay tuned for more.
