It feels like THQ Nordic could announce a new game it's putting out every other week at this point, but the publisher is actually planning on hitting us with a triple whammy in a couple of days at Gamescom. It's bringing three unannounced games to the show.
A couple of these will most likely be unveiled at the Gamescom Opening Night Live event on Monday, with THQ Nordic being one of 15 publishers that are set to debut new footage and titles. We can't imagine them revealing all three at once, however, so expect at least one to be saved for the publisher's live streams throughout the convention.
As for what these games could be, though, we really don't know where to even begin. One of the titles is described as "THQ Nordic's first grand strategy game", which only narrows down the list somewhat. With a staggering 48 unannounced games currently in development back in February, which the publisher has surely added to since, these three titles could be pretty much anything.

Oh boy, I can't wait for THQ to reveal the games and their $150 and $400 collector editions. 👍
Kingdoms of Amalur or don't care.
Another source (What Culture Gaming) has stated that Saints Row 5 and Timesplitters have been confirmed although I have yet to see the likes of IGN, Eurogamer, Gamingbolt etc to back this up.
A new Kingdoms of Amalur would complete a great trio of diverse titles - the FPS, the RPG and an OTT action game - not that I was such a fan of SR3 and SR4 - too silly for my taste.
As long as THQ make great games with their many studio's and licenses, I don't really care. What I don't to see though is that all their games are introductions to spending more money rather than selling us a complete package. They can release stupidly expensive box set of paraphernalia, statues etc for all I care, as long as their is a regular edition with a complete game on it. Its their problem if no one buys the pack that costs more than a console - not mine!

@BAMozzy It can't be TimeSplitters: https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2019/08/timesplitters_co-creator_will_help_plot_the_future_course_of_the_series_as_he_joins_thq_nordic
@Splat Agree
@LiamCroft I was only repeating what another source had claimed and clarified that it was not repeated by other sources. Its still in the pipeline though but the THQ report didn't state when the co-creator joined.
There is still no reason why they wouldn't have something to announce - a title-card (as we saw with Nintendo's Metroid Prime 4). That statement itself, the fact that they have recruited the co-creator of Timesplitters is in fact a confirmation that they are going to make a Timesplitters game and NO reason they couldn't officially confirm a title amongst any other news. Its more than Respawn's Star Wars game had for the first time it was mentioned at E3 and even the 2nd time, all we got was the Developer giving us its Title - we still had to wait for game-play.
I am NOT saying that Timesplitters is a dead cert to be officially announced but neither am I going to say its impossible at this stage. It maybe more 'unlikely' but from THQ's document, its not an impossibility as its one game they all but confirmed (as the PushSquare article also says) that Timesplitters is going to be in development at some point in the near future.
Hey, at least there's no 8Chan anymore for them to sink their reputation, right? Hopefully it's Timesplitters but I doubt it and part of me is sad that this acquisition means all those years of development on TS Rewind will probably be in vain. Those guys are still active on their Discord and if they get hit with a takedown it's a real shame as they did get the blessing of the original devs.
The time is right for a new ALONE IN THE DARK!
Given that last year, THQ Nordic bought all Deep Silver's studios and games, I wonder if we might see another Sacred? Hopefully more like a less-buggy 2 rather than the steaming pile that was 3...
@keihtg hopefully a good one. Inferno had some good ideas but poor execution and the less said about illumination the better.
I'm guessing itl be a saints row remaster, timesplitters remaster, and a new ip
Who remembers Full Spectrum Warrior?
Remaster of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, reborn Project Copernicus, and de Blob 3.
