THQ Nordic 2026 Digital Showcase Reveals Eight Games Including Gothic Board Game

THQ Nordic's 2026 Digital Showcase unveiled eight titles spanning board games, racing, horror DLC, and a dedicated ABBA singing game.

A Gothic board game with a Gamefound crowdfunding campaign launching September 30, 2026, headlined THQ Nordic's 2026 Digital Showcase — an unusual move that extends one of PC gaming's cult RPG franchises into tabletop territory. The game, titled Gothic: A Shadow's Quest, is set in the franchise's iconic Valley of Mines. The showcase also announced Let's Sing: 2027, a karaoke title featuring 35 songs from artists including Chappell Roan and Ariana Grande. It supports local co-op for up to four players, allows singing with or without original vocals, and introduces a new party mode. Separately, a standalone Let's Sing: ABBA was revealed to mark the 50th anniversary of the group's hit 'Dancing Queen.' The dedicated ABBA title includes 32 pop songs, seven game modes, and will release on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation, and additional platforms. Destruction racing game Wreckfest 2 received a new trailer showcasing race modes and vehicle damage systems, while hunting simulator Way of the Hunter 2 was given a version 1.0 release date, set in a North American wilderness setting. World War II tactical game Call to Arms: Panzer Elite showed off a campaign update adding two new missions — Le Mesnil-Adelee and Bastogne — along with two US vehicles, the M24 Chaffee and the M18 Hellcat. Horror adventure game Reanimal launched paid DLC called The Prisoner, available immediately on PC, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5. Hand-drawn platformer The Eternal Life of Goldman also appeared, depicting a frame-by-frame animated archipelago world inspired by ancient fables.

Why it matters

The showcase gives a broad picture of THQ Nordic's 2026 publishing slate, covering multiple genres and platforms. The Gothic board game crowdfunding launch is a notable experiment in extending a legacy video game IP into tabletop gaming.

What's next

The Gothic: A Shadow's Quest Gamefound crowdfunding campaign opens September 30, 2026, which will be the next concrete milestone from the showcase.
