THQ Nordic held its 2026 showcase outside the usual summer blitz, dropping a batch of trailers and announcements covering the publisher's lineup across its various studios. The focus was firmly on niche genres and specific IPs rather than blockbuster titles, but there's plenty here for fans of tactical RPGs, ARPGs, karaoke games, and more.
Let's Sing 2027 was revealed in the preshow, bringing 35 tracks from artists including Ariana Grande and Chappell Roan, with an option to sing along with or without original vocals. A separate ABBA pack arrives November 3 — timed to the 50th anniversary of Dancing Queen — and packs in 32 tracks from Waterloo to Mamma Mia. Zen Studios also showed off Pinball FX's growing table collection, which now spans IPs from Peanuts to Star Wars and is available on most PC and console platforms. Reanimal got new DLC called The Prisoner, adding environmental puzzles and challenges set in a battle-scarred landscape — and it's available right now. Expeditions: Samurai, the tactical turn-based game set in feudal Japan from developer Campfire Cabal, is now in early access on PC, with three major updates planned to polish gameplay balance, exploration, stealth, and combat. Titan Quest 2, still in early access, showed off its new Spirit Mastery skill tree — powers rooted in the Greek Underworld that let players summon spirits and manipulate life and death in combat. Call to Arms: Panzer Elite pushed a new update adding two missions and two tanks, the M18 Hellcat and the M24 Chaffee.
THQ Nordic has carved out a reliable space in the mid-tier publishing world, consistently backing games that serve dedicated genre audiences — tactical RPGs, hunting sims, ARPGs — rather than chasing mainstream trends. Several of the titles shown are already live in some form, which means players don't have to wait long to get hands-on with what was announced. The showcase format, separate from the crowded summer window, gives these smaller titles more room to breathe than they'd get sandwiched between major first-party reveals.
The source cuts off before covering all announced titles, so there may be additional reveals from the showcase not captured here. For the full picture, the official THQ Nordic YouTube channel has individual trailers for each game shown.
