THQ Nordic has revealed that it will be revealing three new games over the next three days.
We'd love to give you more info on what these could possibly be, but the press release sharing this announcement is purposely vague and teasing. It simply reads, "Three games, three days. Because the best things come in threes".
Luckily, THQ has been kind enough to let us know when these games will be revealed. You'll want to keep an eye out on its social media accounts at the following times (naturally, if any of the games are destined for Switch, we'll let you know right here, too):
Game 1: June 5th | 3pm BST / 4pm CET / 10am EST
Game 2: June 6th | 6pm BST / 7pm CET / 2pm EST
Game 3: June 7th | 6pm BST / 7pm CET / 2pm EST
The company has a number of games already available on Switch - Darksiders: Warmastered Edition, This Is The Police, Sine Mora EX, and de Blob to name a few - and Battle Worlds: Kronos is also just a few days away from launch. We're hopeful that at least one or two of these new games could be headed to Nintendo's platform, too.

Darksiders Genesis
Red Faction Evolution
Destroy All Humans Reboot
Impossible to predict what they'll announce as they own the IP to like a billion different games lol.
I think I saw some rumours about Darksiders 4 the other day, so that might be one of the games.
Could one of them be Lock's Quest for Switch? I want that.
@redd214 Red Faction Guerilla Re-Mars-tered already due in July.
@nhSnork Red Faction Evolution was leaked via nVidia website a few days ago, that's what I was referring to.
@nhSnork Was about to say that.
Just looked up their catalogue of games, and that’s a serious list. With that said, I’d just be happy with the rest of the Darksiders trilogy on Switch. Anything after that is a bonus.
Destroy All Humans collection would be awesome! And a lot of people would love a Battle Chasers sequel. I haven’t gotten around to buying / playing it, but looks awesome.
They own alot of IP, a Timeplitters 2 or Future Perfect HD Remaster would be amazing. Likelihood of any of the 3 reveals being this, is slim....
Still, we can hope
I'm pretty sure TimeSplitters will be on that list of three revealed games
Time splitters trilogy please
They own the rights to amalur so why not a remaster/port
Man I really missed out with Timesplitters it seems.... I remember when they released because my friend was all about them. But I only had a Nintendo system during the times of releases so never got around to playing em.
Dead Island
Timesplitters
ELEX
@Dm9982
"And a lot of people would love a Battle Chasers sequel"
This, +1... It is great on Switch. I stop playing it on PC and waited for the switch version. Would love part 2.
Timesplitters....please! Bring the cookieman, Mr. Handy, zombie monkeys, etc
@Dm9982 Timesplitters 2 and Future Perfect were both on the Gamecube.
Did THQ do the WCW & WWF games back in the day?
If so, I wish they did a new wrestling one. WWE, ROH, AEW, or generic with made up characters. Anything is better than 2K.
@DoomTurtle Dude don’t tell me that! I missed out because I assumed it was only on PlayStation or Dreamcast!!! 😆
Let's hope one of them is Time Splitters!
Saints Row 2 remake.
TimeSplitters, please! PLEASE!!!
Darksiders 2 is basically a lock.
I’d also like to see Biomutant announced and the third is a wild card.
@Prk525 The original THQ published the WCW and WWF N64 games. They didn’t make them, though.
@Sinton ahh, thanks for the info!
Darksiders 2 port official confirmation seems like a shoe-in, if not #3. Fingers crossed for Timesplitters
1. Battle for Bikini Bottom HD
2. Battle for Bikini Bottom HD
3. Battle for Bikini Bottom HD
CARMAGEDDON!! You dont just buy something and do nothing with it
@Not_Soos Originally thought this a joke, then remembered a Spongebob game getting rave reviews a while back.... yup this one was it. Remember my nephew and my mom playing it together and they both really enjoyed it, enough that my mom wanted a copy for herself.
@Prk525
I'm with you, the 2K wrestling games don't do it for me either. I want an arcade style wrestling game that's actually fun to play. The 2K wrestling games are trying to be wrestling simulators and it ends up being stiff, clunky and boring.
@capitalism Def Jam and Backyard Wrestling were my favorite wrestling games. Ruined me for wrestling ever since. Lol
(rubs hands in glee)
What could they be? What could they be?
Hopefully one of them is something Darksiders related.
What I love most about this news is reading the thread about it on ree era and the precious snowflakes not being able to cope / seeing them throw a tantrum. 😂
**Mater National for Switch???**
WWF vs WCW/NWO: Monday Night War.
@Dm9982 It's legitimately a great game; it's a sandbox-style 3D platformer almost as competent as a Mario game, in my opinion. THQ and Nickelodeon renewed their partnership and announced about a year or so ago that they would be making new games for classic Nick franchises. NL did an article on it. As praised as this game was, I really don't think a remaster is out of the realm of possibility.
New timesplitters and carmageddon games would be amazing!
Its guttingna lot of their best games are tied to franchises they don't own, bikini bottom, wwe all stars ect.
But, Timrsplitters!
I'm thinking about Disney Princess, Spongebob / Nickelodeon, Pets games from THQ.
They were going to remaster a bunch of Nickelodeon games, so maybe that?
Please be Timesplitters 4 or a Timesplitters trilogy HD! Or even just TS2 itself remastered and with online. Still in my top 3 favorite FPS of all time.
Cool way to warm up for E3.
@Baart ...What is there even to cope with or throw a tantrum over?
Saints Row 2 remake. Saint's Row 5. A good Saint's Row game.
Timesplitters please!
@Dalifano Kingdom's Of Amular for the Switch would be cool. However EA still has publishing rights to that game.
They should just give us a release date for Biomutant already!
@HobbitGamer their cute boycots having zero effect. It's nice seeing them get so frustrated about it.
THQ Nordic now have pre-promoting their old IPs down to a fine art - even the recent kerfuffle was VERY quickly forgotten. It's been fun guessing but who knew the likes of Sphinx would review better now than they did back in the day. But c'mon - give us TimeSplitters trilogy as one release!
Hopefully Darksiders 4, I love the franchise
"revealed that it will be revealing"
2019: the age of news that there will be news.
@Baart
Feel bad for the poor saps that think they have to post on that mess and want to actually talk about these games without mod sponsored derails and dogpiles if you question it.
well I hope the Biomutant rumour comes true! and one of those reveals would have to be darksiders 2
@MajinSoul there's a darksiders 4? not before they give us #2 and 3 surely
Honestly THQNordic is my favorite non-Nintendo developer. I think I own half of their releases on the system. Their schedule alone has made the Nintendrought bearable
The new Darksiders
A Destroy all Humans game
and I don't know what the third one is so I'm just gonna guess its Red Faction or something like that
Id love a HD remaster of Deadly Creatures!
Could be just about anything.
Probably not going to be anything NEW new, though, so I'm expecting some reboots or ports that have previously already been released on Xbox One, PS4 or PC.
Darksiders Genesis, Red Faction Evolution, and something else.
But THQ Nordic has like 50+ games in development, so those 3 titles could be anything.
@Prk525 If Spike would only port the most recent Fire Pro to the Switch, it would maybe be the last wrestling game I'd need for half a decade. I have it on PC and it's basically limitless and flawless (with a great NJPW visual novel campaign added in the last year, too).
@ThanosReXXX This is a generic announcement. It's not specific to Switch
So glad others are wishing for time splitters like me. I know Halo had fun multiplayer during that generation, but Time Splitters was my multiplayer shooter of choice
Legend of Kay 2... Hey, a man can hope! And for the sequel, they should make the voice acting offensively bad and ridiculously out of synch with the characters on screen. Really nail that cheesy 70's kung fu vibe.
This isn't relevant to the topic, but I've just got to say I really want Moonradish to release Wand Wars on Switch! It is so fun! Like Towerfall, but everyone fights to shoot one arrow. That's not the best description, but trust me is awesome and totally belongs on Switch. It has great pixel graphics, great music, tons of unlockables, and excellent gameplay for 1 to 4 players. They kind of got screwed on their Steam release. I hope it comes to Switch soon!
@ALinkttPresent Aha...
Guess I overlooked that. My bad.
@Not_Soos you was right
It was announced that the first game is Spongebob Squarepants: Battle For Bikini Bottom Rehydrated
1. Spongebob remaster
2. Darksiders Genesis
3. Destroy All Humans remaster
