Alright, so picture this: a digital fiesta, no less. THQ Nordic’s shindig, where they, well, throw a bunch of games at you. Seriously. Stuff like Reanimal and Tides of Tomorrow and this Gothic 1 remake which, let’s be real, might make you feel a bit nostalgic. Xbox folks, this one’s for you. Dive in today or live vicariously through a demo, whatever floats your boat.
Now, let’s chat about SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide. Pre-ordering? Yeah, that’s a thing now. On Xbox Series X|S, come November 18. And guess who’s serenading us? David Hasselhoff. Yup. Never thought you’d see that coming, did ya? Switching between Patrick and SpongeBob is finally happening, after what feels like an eternity of waiting.
And talk about bonus overload – Natural Costume Pack for those who pre-order. Plus, there’s a Ghostly Digital Edition and Ultimate Edition. With those, you score a Tidal Season Pass. Multiple DLCs, new challenge levels, you name it. It’s like a party but with fewer snacks and more pixels.
Okay, Gothic. It’s a demo right now. Takes you to the Valley of the Mines, spoiler-free they say. It’s like revisiting your awkward teenage RPG years. The full version ditches the demo stuff but brings back that old-school magic. Mark 2026 if you fancy the entire Gothic Classics top to bottom.
Goldman’s back in action. Platformers with layered stories, because why keep it simple? I mean, who doesn’t want rich, complex scenes when jumping over virtual chasms?
Reanimal gets a shout-out too. The first-look trailer is out, and if horror meets Little Nightmares is your jam, don’t skip this. There’s an online and couch co-op experience. Cozy and terrifying, who knew that combo was a thing?
Now, as if you didn’t have enough to anticipate, Tides of Tomorrow is teasing new gamestyle jazz. Derect from Digixart (Route 96 folks) with some asynchronous gameplay. Make a choice, save (or don’t save) their colorful cosmos. No pressure!
Revving engines? That’s Wreckfest 2, crash lovers. Simulation turned arcade madness is dropping in 2026. It’s about destruction, created for chaos junkies.
Titan Quest II, also eyeing 2026, dives into myth and legend. Mash up your classes, tackle all things Greek myth—one monster, or god, at a time. Destiny calls or something similarly epic.
And before I wander off, there’s this Wreckreation trailer. Wannabe road designers, they’re talking to you! Go nuts with loops, ramps, dinosaurs (ok, haha) in this open world ride. Create, share, destroy. You get the drift.
Anyway, Gamescom’s around the corner—hands-on galore, talks with devs, and yeah, more SpongeBob. Reanimal too. It’s like a carnival for your thumbs and imaginations. See you there? Maybe?
