Gamescom 2019 is around the corner, and THQ Nordic have revealed their lineup for the event. While there are still surprises yet to be revealed, THQ Nordic are already touting two of their reveals pre-E3 in Darksiders: Genesis and the remake of Destroy All Humans.
Darksiders: Genesis, an overhead action/adventure prequel to the traditional Darksiders games, Genesis was one of the games leaked prior to its official reveal, but still looks to offer a nice change for the series. The game is expected later this year for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Google Stadia.
Meanwhile, the remake of Destroy All Humans had been rumoured prior to its E3 reveal, and brings players back to 1950s America. As Crypto, you’ll once again be harvesting human DNA (and delivering anal probes) and bringing the US government to its knees. Look out for it next year for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Also announced for the event is Biomutant, which is also slated to arrive later this year for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. An “open-world, post-apocalyptic Kung-Fu fable RPG”, you play as a raccoon-like creature in a world filled with mutated animals. The world is struck by a natural disaster, causing poisonous oil to pollute the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life has five roots through which it gives life to the whole world. In order to save the Tree of Life, players need to go to the end of each root and destroy the mutated creature gnawing at it.
Gamescom 2019 takes place in Cologne, Germany from August 20 to the 24th.
