Yo, so THQ Nordic just wrapped their 2025 showcase and, wow, there’s a ton to unpack. Like, no lie, some bonkers details dropped about games like Tides of Tomorrow and SpongeBob going all Titans of the Tide on us. And oh yeah, the Gothic 1 Remake is a thing now. Didn’t see that coming!
Okay, where to start? Oh right, Tarsier Studios — you know, the guys behind Little Nightmares — are diving into a creepy new universe with Reanimal. Watched the trailer, got chills. It’s got this insane world with monsters and these two siblings trying to stay alive. Multiplayer chaos awaits. Guess sharing the spooks is a thing now?
And then, SpongeBob. Seriously, SpongeBob. I mean, SpongeBob and Patrick rocking out in Bikini Bottom? It’s happening on November 18th with Titans of the Tide. David Hasselhoff’s in the mix too, singing or something. Can’t make this stuff up. It’s got co-op where you switch between the sponge and the starfish. I’ve actually wanted this since forever, and the DLCs look nuts.
It’s not all sea creatures and neon underpants, though. Gothic’s getting a makeover. Seriously, Alkimia Interactive is taking us back to the Valley of the Mines. The demo’s dropped, and the nostalgia hit hard. If you’re into RPGs, this is gold. Speaking of which, more Gothic classics are set for PS5 by 2026. Mark your calendars or something.
Shifting gears — Eternal Life of Goldman. Vibrant yet dark? Yeah, that’s a combo. The trailer paints this story with life-shattering moments and all that depth. Platformers with layers, who knew? It’s like, precision meets discovery. My brain’s still processing.
Moving on… Digixart, the brains behind Route 96, are back with Tides of Tomorrow. Asynchronous gameplay? Not totally sure what that means, but the post-apocalyptic vibe seems sweet. It’s like players get to mess with the game universe — decisions matter. Looks visually stunning, bright yet end-of-the-world-ish, you get me?
Wreckfest 2, anyone? I mean, the first game was my go-to for stress busting. Smash ‘em up derby style with all the boom and crash you could want. BugBear’s cooking up its sequel for PS5, aiming for 2026.
And then, here comes Titan Quest II. If hack-and-slash with mythic bad guys is your thing, there’s that. Ancient Greece, monsters, gods, you name it. It’s blending classes for customization, the works. Promises to be an A-class mythological journey.
So, there’s Wreckreation, bringing back those Burnout vibes — massive sandbox, loads of cars, and the Game DJ feature. Talk about all the mods: traffic, music, weather. Plus, if you need a dinosaur jump, Wreckreation heard your plea.
Wrapping it up, whether you’re a racer, RPG fanatic, or SpongeBob aficionado, there was a bit of everything. This showcase was a wild ride, and Gamescom’s around the corner to amplify the hype. Tune in, buckle up, or just sit back. It’s gonna be a fun year for PS5 gamers, I think.
