Get ready, gamers: The Digital Showcase 2025 countdown tweet from THQ Nordic was indeed an awesome hype bomb, and the replies were an absolute mess. The company later teased “new announcements, updates, and more,” throwing a mischievous wink in the process, implying unexpected surprises ahead. Judging by the insane requests seen in the replies, this surely ain’t going to be an easy one for them.
First, let’s talk about the insane number of random requests hitting the comments, shall we? Somebody just opened the vault of nostalgia and let everyone scream out their childhood favorites. Destroy All Humans 3, obviously. It’s such a big one that people request it outright on several occasions, sometimes even with accompanying 🥹 emojis for genuine dramatic effect. The Darksiders 4 homies swear they will “lose their sht” if it ever gets announced (their words, not mine). And then you have the hopefuls for Epic Mickey 2 Rebrushed, still riding on the first game’s remaster buzz.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any stranger, some person states, “BARNYARD THE GAME REMASTERED ??,” and respect to them; that is the spirit needed in game development. Coming next are the SpongeBob enthusiasts, with one dropping a pic of the yellow sponge with the comment that “Our favorite yellow Sponge is ready.” And perhaps, in some universe, he seriously is.
A Dead Island fan just had to remind us of the establishment! One brave soul threatened to “sht [their] pants” should Dead Island 3 ever be announced, definitely a reaction! Meanwhile, the fans of Titan Quest 2 and Alone in the Dark Inferno Remastered are still hiding in the shadows waiting for their big chance.
Now, for the wildcards: Parkside 4? Wreckreation release date? The Last Ronin? AEW game? It’s basically every niche gaming desire right now. Switch 2 was also mentioned with someone pleading for Destroy All Humans 2 on the next Nintendo console.
Now, for the juicy part: THQ Nordic said blatantly that they’ve got an “nobody expected” surprise, which means all of these mightbes might be way off. Maybe they’re finally gonna come out with a sentient sock game (shoutout to PlatinumSocky) or a Wreckfest 2 console port. Who knows!
What we can say though is that the gamers are ready for this. The replies are a perfect hybrid of hype, desperation, and meme energy—pretty much the atmosphere calling out for a THQ Nordic showcase. So, if you’re about Darksiders, Destroy All Humans, or even that slim chance of a Barnyard revival, now is the moment to see if your crazy gaming wish is about to come true.
Snacks ready? Cancel all those plans already; in less than two hours, THQ Nordic is just going to either make a lot of people really happy… or really unhappy, so-called down into a “why didn’t they announce [insert ultra-specific game here]??” spiral. One thing’s for sure: It’s definitely gonna be one hell of a ride.
