THQ Nordic games showcase announced

It is becoming ever more common for publishers to host their own digital games showcases, not relying on neither console manufacturers nor special events such as E3 to reach out to their audience with news of upcoming titles. Such is the case with THQ Nordic, which has now announced a digital showcase seeing the “return of legendary franchises and sequels to beloved games.”

Making the announcement on Twitter, THQ Nordic said “To celebrate our 10th anniversary, we are throwing a digital party! Join us for the first, official THQ Nordic digital showcase event on September 17th at 9 pm CEST / 12 PM PST / 8 PM BST / 10 PM MSK on YouTube, Twitch, and Steam.”

Going into more detail on what viewers can expect, they said “The showcase will be hosted by the amazing @geoffkeighley, executive producer and host of The Game Awards, and will feature six new games. Witness the return of legendary franchises and sequels to beloved games. We hope you are ready, kids!”

While many of the announcements will be surprises, the publisher did confirm that Expeditions: Rome and ELEX II will both be present at the event, as well as a new game from Handy Games – known best perhaps for the SpongeBob Battle For Bikini Bottom remake.

As a publisher, THQ Nordic has released a huge list of games, including Wreckfest; Destroy All Humans!; Darksiders III; Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning and Biomutant. It will therefore be interesting to see what the publisher has planned next.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
