THQ Nordic's 2024 Digital Showcase is just around the corner, being scheduled to kick off on Friday, August 2. THQ Nordic fans should hence get ready for a slew of new game announcements, trailers, and information.

The Embracer Group subsidiary has been holding annual summer showcases since 2021, when the first such event was used to commemorate THQ Nordic's tenth anniversary. The 2024 edition of the livestream was announced back in May. It is set to take place on August 2, starting at 12pm PT / 3pm ET / 9pm CET.

THQ Nordic's 2024 Digital Showcase Will Have a Handy Games Pre-Show

While technically not part of the main event, THQ Nordic subsidiary Handy Games will host a pre-show immediately before the Digital Showcase. With a planned runtime of 15 minutes, the livestream will ostensibly be long enough for the studio to feature at least a handful of titles. Some of them will possibly be indie games, as the German company operates as an indie publisher in addition to being a developer.

As for the main event, the Gothic remake is expected to be the star of the show. THQ Nordic has already confirmed that the much-anticipated RPG will appear at its next Digital Showcase, with an Alkimia Interactive representative later clarifying that the event will premiere its long-awaited gameplay trailer. Back in summer 2023, the Barcelona-based studio said that the Gothic remake was aiming for a release in the second half of 2024. Assuming that's still the plan, THQ Nordic's 2024 Digital Showcase may finally reveal a concrete release date for the game, which has been in development since 2019.

THQ Nordic's 2024 Digital Showcase Lineup

  • Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed
  • Gothic 1 Remake
  • Titan Quest 2
  • Way of the Hunter
  • Multiple unannounced games (unconfirmed)
  • Tempest Rising (unconfirmed)
  • Wreckreation (unconfirmed)

Other than the Gothic remake, the Digital Showcase has already been confirmed to feature Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, Titan Quest 2, and Way of the Hunter. The Mickey Mouse platformer already has a September 24 release date, so its involvement in the event probably won't extend beyond a new gameplay trailer. Meanwhile, Titan Quest 2 might get a release date or at least a release window, depending on the project's current status. Finally, Way of the Hunter seems all but confirmed to be getting another DLC pack that will be unveiled at the showcase.

Aside from some new project announcements, the event may also offer another look at the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin game. Based on an eponymous comic book series from 2020, this Black Forest-developed title was originally revealed at the 2023 edition of THQ Nordic's annual showcase. Ditto for Slipgate Ironworks' PC RTS Tempest Rising and Three Fields Entertainment's TrackMania-like game Wreckreation, either of which might make an appearance at the upcoming Digital Showcase.
