THQ Nordic's latest Showcase just concluded, revealing a number of new games, as well as providing new trailers for existing ones. There was also a pre-show from HandyGames, a subsidiary of THQ Nordic, which we'll also cover. And to coincide with the Showcase, the majority of THQ Nordic games are on sale on all major platforms for about a week. Now, let's get into the games!

HandyGames

As mentioned, there was a brief pre-show from HandyGames that showcased a number of their upcoming games, plus some that are already out. We'll only focus on the new announcements, but you can check out their stream for the full thing.

Airhead

A metroidvania with an emphasis on puzzles, Airhead sees you in control of a body that carries around a head-like organism who risks losing all its air due to a leak. You know, standard stuff. The game currently has a demo on Steam if you want to give it a shot.

Lethal Honor

A hack-and-slash action roguelite game with a comic book-like art style and presentation. You'll need to defeat various enemies in brutal fashion, in a story and setting that doesn't seem to shy away from gore.

Oddsparks: An Automation Adventure

What looks to be a cross between an automation game and a Pikmin-like experience, all set in a cutesy fantasy setting. The game's world is procedurally generated with a variety of biomes, and it offers the option for online co-op.

 

A Rat's Quest - The Way Back Home

Last, but certainly not least, we have A Rat's Quest, a 3D platformer where you play as a rat trying, if the name is anything to go by, get back home. If you ever wanted to experience Pixar's Ratatouille in the form of a game, this might be the closest we'll get. Well... aside from the actual Ratatouille games.

THQ Nordic

At last, we arrive at the THQ Nordic presentation. We have 3 game announcements, 1 DLC trailer, and 6 trailers showcasing stuff for existing games.

Alone in the Dark

We have two character trailers for Edward Carnby (player by David Harbour) and Jodie Comer (played by Emily Hartwood). The game launches on October 25th, and you can get a free Prologue demo on Steam, PlayStation and Xbox.

Wreckreation

A racing game with an insane amount of track customization. You'll be able to create tracks that contain loops, windmills, and looping windmills. The track builder can be used by you and your friends at the same time, and you can also customize everything else, from your car to the weather to the track itself mid-race.

Titan Quest II

A sequel to the 2006 game that managed to get expansions up until last year. No gameplay was shown, but if it's anything like it's predecessor, it'll be an action-RPG in the vein of Diablo, but with a mythological twist to it.
