THQ Nordic has officially revealed its 2025 game lineup, and the showcase didn’t disappoint. From long-awaited remakes to bold new IPs, the publisher is making a clear statement this year. In this article, I break down the most exciting titles from the event, along with personal Hype Scores, trailers, and early impressions.
Whether you’re a fan of Diablo-style hack-and-slash, nostalgic RPGs, or brutal action games, these are the titles you need on your radar.
Sacred 2 Remaster – Classic ARPG Returns
Hype Score: 3/5
I first played Sacred 2 on the PS3, and it left a lasting impression. The massive open world, deep questing, and RPG mechanics rivaled Diablo in scope and style. THQ Nordic is bringing it back with a remaster, and while details are limited, fans of classic action RPGs should take notice.
If the developers can modernize the visuals and fix the dated UI and combat pacing, this could become a worthy nostalgia trip. But for now, my hype remains cautious.

Titan Quest II – Mythology Meets Mayhem
Hype Score: 4/5
Titan Quest II brings ancient Greek mythology back to life in a new, upgraded action RPG format. If you missed the first game, this is the perfect time to jump in. The sequel is currently in Early Access on Steam for €23.99, and it’s already showing depth with its complex skill trees, loot systems, and monster-slaying action.
Like Diablo, it’s all about chaining skills, grinding gear, and uncovering lore-rich regions. If you’re looking for a fresh ARPG that respects its roots, Titan Quest II is one to watch.

Gothic 1 Remake – A Cult Classic Reborn
Hype Score: 5/5
After years of silence and fan speculation, the Gothic 1 Remake is finally happening. THQ is reviving one of the most beloved RPGs of the early 2000s with completely overhauled visuals, revamped combat mechanics, and modern performance.
The original Gothic was gritty, immersive, and brutally unforgiving. If this remake keeps the soul of the original while updating its systems, it could easily reignite the franchise. No official release date yet, but this is one of THQ’s most promising projects.

Fatekeeper – THQ’s Brutal New IP
Hype Score: 6/5
Fatekeeper is a brand-new IP and easily the most exciting game in THQ Nordic’s lineup. It looks like Skyrim on adrenaline—faster, bloodier, and more cinematic. The combat is tight and brutal, animations are fluid, and the world design looks handcrafted for intensity rather than open-world sprawl.
While it may not feature full open-world exploration, Fatekeeper appears laser-focused on high-impact gameplay. This is the wild card that could become a breakout hit.

Final Thoughts on THQ Nordic’s 2025 Game Showcase
THQ Nordic is clearly aiming to balance nostalgia with innovation. With remasters like Sacred 2 and Gothic, they’re honoring fan favorites. Meanwhile, Titan Quest II and Fatekeeper push the action-RPG space forward in bold ways.
From this announcement alone, it’s clear THQ is no longer content with being on the sidelines—they’re targeting core RPG gamers and ARPG fans with serious intent.
