A lengthy fourteen years later, and Desperados 3 is ready to fill its hand with iron once again, shooting not just bullets but cerebral rounds of pure tactical quick decision-making.

Darksiders Genesis is an action/adventure that tears its way through hordes of demons, angels, and everything in-between on its way to Hell and back with guns blazing and swords swinging. Genesis gives players their first look at the world of Darksiders before the events of the original game, as well as introduces the horseman Strife.

Last week even saw THQ Nordic hit another milestone: A marketing blunder. It all started when the publisher decided to host an “Ask Me Anything” session, an interactive Q&A usually seen on social platforms such as reddit. Only problem? THQ Nordic decided to host their AMA on…8Chan.

Last night, THQ Nordic – the resurrected company that’s been buying properties and studios on its quest for European game domination – held an Ask me Anything (AMA). There’s nothing unusual about that at all. Developers and people in the industry do those all the time. What raised eyebrows though was exactly where said AMA took place: 8chan.

THQ Nordic announced that it has raised over £171 million/$223 million, cash that will be invested in the acquisition of more game studios. That’s not exactly chump change.

Who knows, maybe Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy would have been more attractive in this day and age if it exuded more…Pharoahmones.

February this year is pretty crowded when it comes to blockbuster games, and no date is more crowded than Friday 15. On that day, we’ll see Crackdown 3 finally hit retail after too many delays to mentions. We’ll also see Ubisoft’s Far Cry 5 spinoff New Dawn, anime brawler Jump Force and the post-apocalyptic shooter Metro Exodus. Just a week later, and EA and Bioware’s Anthem will be out. It leaves Metro Exodus competing for wallets and time with some big heavy hitters – but publisher Deep silver isn’t too worried.

THQ Nordic has been on a tear lately, gobbling up defunct video game properties like a fat kid left unattended in a candy store. 2018 has seen the publisher grab the rights to Alone in the Dark, TimeSplitters and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning to name just a few, but the company is looking for something more vroomy in its future.
