THQ Nordic Showcase 2026: New Worlds, New Stories, New Games, and New Discounts

THQ Nordic’s 2026 digital showcase was less about one headline reveal than a coordinated push across its portfolio. The most immediate release was REANIMAL: The Prisoner DLC, available today, while Way of the Hunter 2 opened pre-orders ahead of its September 29 launch. On the preview side, the publisher rolled out new gameplay for Wreckfest 2, Titan Quest II, Gothic Classic, Gothic Remake, and The Eternal Life of Goldman.

For developers, the interesting part is the spread of genres and production goals on display. Wreckfest 2 is leaning hard into physics-driven destruction and vehicle dynamics, while Titan Quest II is positioning itself as a mythology-heavy action RPG with early access momentum. The Eternal Life of Goldman stands out for its hand-painted, hand-animated presentation, which suggests a strong art-direction and animation pipeline rather than a pure tech showcase.

The showcase also included a first look at an unannounced DigixArt game and a catalogue update from HandyGames, signaling that THQ Nordic is still using these events to seed multiple projects at different stages of production. The accompanying sale runs August 4-10 and discounts parts of the catalog by up to 90%, which is less a dev story on its own than a reminder of how publishers bundle visibility, pre-orders, and back-catalog monetization into one beat.
