Join the Game: THQ Nordic 2025 Digital Showcase

Hey, so, today was, like, this big showy event thingy — THQ Nordic Digital Showcase or whatever. Loads of gamers got to peek at some fresh gameplay stuff for a bunch of new titles. I know, exciting, right? Games like Reanimal, Tides of Tomorrow, and a heap of others I can’t even recall right now. Oh, and this new Gothic 1 Remake demo popped up for Xbox folks today. Lucky them!

Anyway, let’s blabber about what happened, spilling all the juiciest bits hitting Xbox.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide Pre-Order Madness

Oh man, SpongeBob fans are buzzing like bees, ’cause pre-orders just opened! Mark November 18 on your calendars — that’s when it crashes onto Xbox Series X|S. You get to bounce around Bikini Bottom as both Patrick and SpongeBob. Crazy, huh? And David Hasselhoff? Yep, he’s in there somehow. No clue why, but it’s happening. If you snag a pre-order now, there’s some Natural Costume Pack DLC waiting. Go wild!

Gothic Remake… It’s Here!

Starting right now, gamers can leap back into the Valley of the Mines with the Gothic Remake demo. It’s all about the Nyras Prologue experience. No spoilers promised, though — pinky swear! This isn’t just any RPG; it’s the RPG. And there’s more coming, like Gothic Classics for Xbox Series X|S in 2026. But hold onto your horses till then.

Eternal Life of Goldman’s New Sneaky Peek

This new trailer? Right out of the gate, it screams drama. Someone’s life is blown apart, and you’re just along for the ride. A platformer where precision is king and exploration is your sidekick. Lots of story layers here, folks. It’s like peeling an onion, but fun?

Reanimal Gameplay? Yes, Please!

So we got a fresh look at Reanimal — all thanks to those Little Nightmares folks. Apparently, it’s horror adventure vibes all the way. Imagine creepy environments, weirdos jumping at ya, and maybe friends too. Multiplayer modes? Check. It’s like a spooky rollercoaster.

Tides of Tomorrow and Its Quirkiness

Alright, so this one has a trailer featuring words straight from the creator’s mouths — Digixart. Rich storytelling, asynchronous gameplay — whatever that means. The post-apocalypse theme is alive and well. Player decisions shape the world. It’s all very movie-esque, if you ask me.

Wreckfest 2: About Time!

Remember that demolition derby madness? Well, it’s coming back. Not today or tomorrow but 2026. Yeah, I know, it’s a long wait. But imagine smashing cars with realistic damage sets and giggling like a maniac. Xbox Series X|S folks, mark your calendars!

Titan Quest II Adds More Spice

They’re stretching this RPG thing with hack-n-slash elements, loot collections, and you mix n’ match classes as you please. Ancient Greece, legendary creatures… sounds like a history class on steroids.

Wreckreation Trailer — DIY Racing!

The Burnout creators have thrown in a mix of arcade racing and customization. Think of it as a sandbox with 60 cars and a crazy DJ mode. I’m sold. Racing over a dinosaur’s noggin? Sure, why not! Share your wild creations with friends, too. It’s all happening this year.

And there’s more at Gamescom soon — hands-on fun for attendees with games like Reanimal and, obviously, SpongeBob. Development folks will be around too. Can’t wait to hear what’s next from them.
