THQ Nordic held a digital showcase yesterday offering previews of its upcoming video game slate. The biggest reveal was that the company will be publishing a new “South Park” video game, but no further details were shared.
Ubisoft published the last two South Park games back in 2014 and 2017, both well-received RPGs focused on turn-based and tactical approaches. No indication if this will be like that or something more linear and/or platform driven.
Also revealed was “SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake,” a new game coming to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC that feels very much in the veins of their acclaimed remaster “SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated” .
In the game, a fortune teller grants SpongeBob and Patrick’s wishes and they open up portals to ‘strange wish worlds’. It will also feature the original actors from the show, meaning Tom Kenny and Bill Fagerbakke will play SpongeBob and Patrick, respectively.
Also coming is Pieces Interactive’s reboot of the original “Alone in the Dark” franchise with acclaimed “SOMA” and “Amnesia: The Dark Descent” writer Mikael Hedberg penning the game.
The remake will boast a new story and have characters, places, and themes from the original 1990s survival horror trilogy. It will be a PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC release.
More trailers are also out for the remake of “Gothic,” the open-world arcade racing game “Wreckreation” which reportedly boasts 280,000 miles of track to race, the space simulation game “Space for Sale,” the hunting sim game “Way of the Hunter,” and the soon to release “Destroy All Human 2 – Reprobed”.
