THQ Nordic used its August 2026 Digital Showcase to reveal the scale of its current pipeline: 29 games are in development across the publisher and its subsidiaries, with 12 projects still being kept secret. The presentation offered updates on several known releases but provided no details or reveal window for the unannounced titles.
What Happened at THQ Nordic's Showcase
The 29-game total includes a mixture of new releases, remasters, sequels, and classic-game projects. Confirmed titles include Darksiders 4, Titan Quest 2, Wreckfest 2, Way of the Hunter 2, Space for Sale, The Eternal Life of Goldman, Fatekeeper, and The Guild: Europa 1410. The list also features Call to Arms: Panzer Elite, Expeditions: Samurai, Let's Sing 2027, Let's Sing Abba, and a sequel to Road 96.
The Gothic series remains a major part of the publisher's plans. Gothic 1 Remake is in development, while Gothic 2 Classic and Gothic 3 Classic are scheduled for September and November releases, respectively. The showcase also highlighted a Switch 2 version of Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, alongside other Switch 2 projects such as SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide and Sacred 2 Remaster.
Why the 12 Hidden Projects Matter
THQ Nordic operates with 16 subsidiary studios, giving the publisher a broad portfolio across role-playing games, action titles, simulations, strategy, and racing. Revealing that 12 of its 29 projects have not been announced suggests that the company is still holding back a substantial portion of its future lineup.
However, the showcase did not identify the mystery games, their developers, platforms, or release timing. That makes the figure more useful as an indication of production activity than as a promise of imminent announcements. For now, players should separate the confirmed projects from speculation about potential revivals or new entries in established franchises.
What to Watch Next
Expeditions: Samurai entered early access alongside the presentation, giving audiences a more immediate release to follow. Reanimal also received a surprise first major DLC, The Prisoner, adding two playable characters, new locations, a story chapter, and new bosses. Two further Reanimal DLC releases are planned for late 2026 and early 2027.
THQ Nordic is also expanding Epic Mickey: Rebrushed to Android and iOS in September, with the Switch 2 edition arriving in October. The publisher has not announced when any of the 12 hidden games will be shown, so future showcases and individual studio updates will be the key places to watch for new information.
Key takeaways for players
- THQ Nordic has 29 games in development across the publisher and its subsidiaries.
- Twelve projects have not been officially announced and have no confirmed reveal timeframe.
- Darksiders 4, Titan Quest 2, Wreckfest 2, and Way of the Hunter 2 remain among the notable known projects.
- Gothic 2 Classic and Gothic 3 Classic are scheduled for September and November, respectively.
- Reanimal's first major DLC is available, with two additional expansions planned.
Expert View
The most important part of THQ Nordic's announcement is not any single game, but the breadth of its production slate. A large known lineup already gives the publisher several ways to reach different audiences, while the 12 undisclosed projects create room for meaningful surprises. Still, the number alone should not be treated as a release forecast: without developers, platforms, or windows, the hidden games remain a long-term possibility rather than near-term launches.
