After heroically skipping E3 to sit in beer gardens and enjoy the World Cup, like all sensible people should’ve been doing, THQ Nordic is going to be at Gamescom 2018 in Cologne in a big way. A relatively innocuous publisher just a few years ago, THQ Nordic is going to have eight games on show at Gamescom, including a pair of exclusive announcements.

They’ve revealed the line-up in a new Gamescom 2018 trailer, showcasing the likes of Biomutant, Darksiders 3, Fade to Silence, Avalanche’s Generation Zero and the likes of Towns VR and Wreckfest, both of which are already out on PC.

On top of that, we’ve got the two new games that are set to be revealed, one of which will be showcased during the Gamescom opening ceremony. If it’s a new Delta Force or Joint Operations then I will unashamedly wet myself.

THQ Nordic Gamescom 2018 Lineup

  • Biomutant (PS4, Xbox One, PC) – Playable
  • Darksiders III (PS4, Xbox One, PC) – Playable
  • Fade to Silence (PS4, Xbox One, PC) – Playable
  • Generation Zero (PS4, Xbox One, PC) – Playable
  • Townsmen VR (Steam VR, Oculus, Vive, Windows Mixed Reality)
  • Wreckfest (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
  • Unannounced Game #1 – World exclusive announcement that will happen during the official gamescom opening ceremony
  • Unannounced Game #2

Gamescom 2018 will be taking place from Tuesday, August 21st through to Saturday, August 25th, and we'll be bringing you all the biggest news just as soon as it happens.

Please let one of those unannounced games be a new Titan Quest or a Remaster.

I will have a look on biomutant but what scares me is that it might be just another typical AAA game with the very same price and the same gameplay and hours you can put in and after 6 months they will release a £15 DLC with 10 extra hours

Perfect!
I'm really glad they're coming back in the game, they've always made interesting single player games

Hope they patch the bugs thats in darksiders 2 deathinitive edition, some nasty lighting/shadow bugs where you turn the camera and it flickers, some shadows look broken too, least the darksiders warmaster edition seems ok, audio seems a little off at times but alot less annoying than flickering, with the 3rd game coming it be nice to have the first two fixed

Nobody is likely to ever fix Darksiders II after all this time, it's kind of pointless now. As far as I know, there are no game breaking bugs at this time.

Yes, but the whole reason was for Xbox One and PS4 players who never played them. They have literally no reason to now as none of it is game breaking or making the game unplayable.

Guess I'm not sensible cause I watched E3 and couldn't care less about some World Cup.
