THQ Nordic Showcase reveals South Park: Snow Day, Titan Quest 2, and more
Here's a round up of announcements and trailers.
THQ offered some new trailers and made new announcements during a special showcase held yesterday.
During the presentation, the firm revealed its new South Park game called Snow Day, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles title, Titan Quest 2, and plenty of updates on more titles.
Get caught up on what you may have missed below.
South Park: Snow Day
Developed by South Park Digital Studios, THQ Nordic, and Question Games, Snow Day is a four-player co-op title, in 3D that finds the four pals celebrating a snow day. Grab up to three friends and battle your way through the snow-piled streets of South Park on a quest to save the world and enjoy a day without school.
It's nice to finally get an idea of what to expect from the game, considering we've heard next to nothing about it since it's official tease one year ago. Before that, the game was informally announced by a job listing at Question Games, a studio made up of ex-AAA developers whose past team credits include: Thief: Deadly Shadows, BioShock titles, Dishonored, and previous South Park games.
South Park: Snow Day is the third game developed based on the long-running animated series which is celebrating its 26th Anniversary this month. It is slated for a 2024 release on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
