News THQ Nordic's Spending Spree Expands to Alone in the Dark
It Carnby true
THQ Nordic is a company with a lot of cash, and it’s buying every dormant intellectual property it can get its greedy little hands on. Next up: survival horror Alone in the Dark, which it’s clawed away from the clutches of Atari Europe for an undisclosed fee. The company also picked up real-time strategy series Act of War, which...

Apocalypse now
Don't forget guys and gals -- Darksiders III comes out in November.

Gamescom 2018 Desperados III Gameplay Looks a Lot Like Shadow Tactics
And that's fine by us
THQ Nordic's Desperados III was a surprise announcement during Gamescom 2018's opening ceremony, as the series has been dormant since 2007's Helldorado. Given the team behind this game produced Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, we had a feeling it would be in safe hands, and this new gameplay is looking pretty good...

Still a 2018 release
Remember that weird looking open world action game, BioMutant? Well it's reappeared at Gamescom 2018, bringing a trailer (above) and over 15 minutes of gameplay (below).

Shoot out
THQ Nordic announced a new entry in the Desperados series during Gamescom 2018's opening ceremony.

According to the game's official website, Desperados III is heavily inspired by the original game, Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive...
Review Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered (PS4)
Revolutionary
The last console generation seems like a quainter time compared to now. Granted, we didn’t have as many indie games then as we do now, but for every big-budget blockbuster there were numerous B-games: passion projects lacking polish but full of heart. We’re talking about games like Deadly Premonition, Binary Domain, The...

News THQ Nordic Is Skipping E3 2018 for the World Cup
Who can blame them?
E3 2018 and the FIFA World Cup take place in very close proximity to each other this year, and because of that, the Austrian-based company THQ Nordic are snubbing the Los Angeles show floor for the beer gardens of Vienna this time around as they watch the World Cup in Russia from a safe distance. Because of that, we'll get...

Mystery awaits in THQ Nordic’s latest rework of its 2013 game The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief. The Remastered edition comes bundled with just the right amount of puzzle solving, wit, and charm as its counterpart, with some reworked animations as well as improvements to shading and lighting. It's an often slow-paced...
Totally rad. Not
Another week, another Kickstarter game makes the leap from PC to PlayStation 4. This time around it’s Rad Rodgers, a “spiritual successor” to those side scrolling platformers that graced the PC back in the nineties, such as Commander Keen and Jazz Jackrabbit. Nostalgia is definitely the main aim here, and for good or bad it...

Hot stuff
Oh right – they’re making Darksiders III!

A Scottish haunting
Before Charlie Brooker came onto the scene, Black Mirror was more commonly known as a series of point-and-click adventure games released on the PC in the mid-2000s. Its initial three entries were fairly well received, and after a seven year absence, the name is back with a re-imagining of its story, themes, and a mix-up in the...
Poor man's Splatoon?
Nine years after its appearance on the Wii, de Blob has rolled onto the PlayStation 4. While certainly an unexpected port, it isn’t an unwelcome one. This colourful platformer was a delightfully whimsical adventure nearly a decade ago, with a simple concept that exuded fun and creativity. Pleasingly, this holds true today...
News We Gave ELEX a 4/10, But We'll Admit That Its Accolades Trailer Is Pretty Great
ELEXellent
You know what's really cool about opinions? You don't necessarily have to share them with other people. Sadly, this is a fact of life that the internet gets wrong all too often, so it's actually quite refreshing to see THQ Nordic having a laugh with its accolades trailer for ELEX. The open world role-playing game launched last month on...
Swing and a miss
ELEX is an open world role-playing game from a developer with an incredibly spotty track record. No stranger to B-tier titles (with the B sometimes standing for Bin), German studio Piranha Bytes has amassed something of a cult following over the years. ELEX is bound to find an audience, but that audience is bound to be small – and...
News de Blob Paints Up a Storm Next Month on PS4
Splat attack
Oozy ink-‘em-up de Blob will splat the PlayStation 4 on 14th November in North America and 17th November in Europe, publisher THQ Nordic has revealed. The game was a big hit on the Nintendo Wii, and it eventually spawned a sequel on the PlayStation 3. Scarily, the original is now nearing its tenth birthday, but it’s still cracking...
News Wait, Open World, Sci-Fi Action RPG ELEX Is Out on PS4 Tomorrow?
Apparently so
Wow, this one slipped under the radar, didn't it? An ambitious project from the developer behind the rather crap Risen series [we actually heard reviewer Alex Stinton scream just then - Ed], ELEX was announced quite a while back, and we honestly forgot that it was out this month. And by this month, we mean tomorrow, the 17th...
News Massive Battle Chasers: Nightwar PS4 Patch Promises a Much Improved Game

The latest Battle Chasers: Nightwar patch is available to download now on PlayStation 4, and it's bloody huge.

Review Baja: Edge of Control HD (PS4)
Offroading like it's '08
Baja: Edge of Control was a title that released last generation back in 2008. Nine years later, publisher THQ Nordic and developer 2XL Games have decided to remaster this title and dub it “HD” (because, you know, last generation games weren’t HD already). That being said, lets see how this off-road racer fares for the...
News Donate to Charity and Get 15 PS4 Games for Pocket Change
Not a bad deal
THQ Nordic has brought back its Humble Bundle from earlier in the year, meaning that you can get up to 15 PlayStation 4 games for $15, which is a bargain really. Not all of the games are great, but you do get both Darksiders titles, as well as a few PS2 Classics like Red Faction and both Destroy All Humans! instalments. If you’re...
News BioMutant's Overly Talkative Narrator Can Be Toned Down
Good to hear
BioMutant, the unique looking action role-playing game that was revealed at Gamescom last month, looked quite promising in its first gameplay footage. However, one aspect that we weren't all that keen on was the narration. We don't mind a bit of commentary here and there, but this was the kind of thing that'd probably drive you mad...
Gamescom 2017 Here's 11 Whole Minutes of Open World RPG BioMutant Gameplay
And it looks good
BioMutant has been causing a bit of a stir over the last few days. The weird looking open world role-playing game made its debut at Gamescom 2017 - the German convention that's still ongoing - and now IGN's nabbed 11 whole minutes of gameplay. You can give it a watch above. Obviously this isn't PlayStation 4 footage, but that...
Gamescom 2017 Here's Our First Look at Open World RPG BioMutant Gameplay
Mutant mash
Well this is all happening rather quickly. BioMutant was leaked ahead of its Gamescom 2017 reveal, then we were given a CG teaser trailer yesterday. Said trailer snagged our interest, but it left us eager to actually see the game in action. Thankfully, that time has already come.
Gamescom 2017 Open World PS4 RPG BioMutant Gets First Trailer
No gameplay, sadly
Leaked ahead of its official announcement, BioMutant is an open world role-playing game from ex-Just Cause and Mad Max developers. Featuring a weird main character and promising kung fu action, it's a project that at least sounds interesting. Sadly, we don't have any gameplay to gawk at yet, but publisher THQ Nordic has released...
Gamescom 2017 Biomutant Is a Post-Apocalyptic Open World Kung-Fu Action RPG for PS4

News THQ Nordic Teases a New Open World RPG and a Horror Sequel for Gamescom 2017
What could they be?
THQ Nordic has been doing some great work in the AA game space over the past couple of years, and with the upcoming release of Darksiders III, you'd think it already has its crown jewel that will potentially break into the mainstream. However, the company clearly isn't stopping there, as it's teased two announcements for next...

News Darksiders Duo Bundled Up on PS4 Prior to Sequel
Fury's Collection is available now
All credit to THQ Nordic: it's played a blinder with the Darksiders III reveal.

News Sine Mora EX Braves Bullet Hell on PS4 This Summer
Extreme
Who remembers Sine Mora, then? It was billed as a big deal once upon a time, releasing on the PlayStation 3 and Vita with input from Suda51 if our memory is correct. Anyway, it kinda came and went but still has a cult following in some circles, and now THQ Nordic has announced that an extended version will release on the PlayStation 4 this...

Car crash entertainment
Surprisingly enjoyable Stuntman sequel Stuntman: Ignition looks like it's set to hit a jump ramp onto the PlayStation 4, as the game has popped up on European ratings firm PEGI's website. While the game did release on the PlayStation 3, it's likely that this is the PlayStation 2 version
Review Darksiders: Warmastered Edition (PS4)
The art of war
It's weird to think that since Darksiders was released in 2010, Vigil Games disbanded, THQ went bankrupt, and Nordic Games acquired the franchise. Not only that, but it has even reincorporated under the name THQ Nordic and overseen remasterings of both games. So while ex-Vigil Games employees are scattered around the place with...
News Darksiders Will Be Remastered in 4K Resolution on PS4 Pro
