THQ Nordic has published its Q5 earnings release, revealing that it currently has 48 unannounced games that are under development. As the publisher noted, by the end of the quarter, THQ Nordic, Deep Silver and Coffee Stain had 80 games in development, of which 48 titles are currently unannounced.
Furthermore, THQ Nordic announced that it has signed a new development agreement with 4A Games, the developers of the Metro franchise, for their upcoming, still undisclosed, AAA-project. THQ Nordic did not provide any additional details about this new triple-A game, so it will be interesting to see whether the publisher will officially reveal it at E3 2019.
Speaking of 4A Games, THQ Nordic has also announced that Metro Exodus was the largest game launch so far in the history of the group. As THQ Nordic noted, the game has performed in line with management’s expectations and has recouped all investments in development and marketing. Unfortunately the publisher did not provide any platform-specific sale numbers, however it’s good knowing that Metro Exodus has already covered its development and marketing costs.
Last but not least, THQ Nordic stated that it has a well-positioned pipeline and many marketing activities ahead – including both E3 and Gamescom – that will be important events for the Group as it showcases its games to a global audience.

yeah i bet they are all crappy flash games who cares
All Epic Store exclusives. No thanks.
Well let’s hope they turn out better than Darksiders 3 which was a major disappointment.
48 games?! That can never end well
But but…. EPIC GAMES STORE sales where soo much better. I guess Timy lied about that 🙂
Who said the sales were better lol.
The game sold more than previous titles at launch, which can be attributed to the popularity of the franchise. No one said EGS sold better than Steam.
Forty…….. eight. Clearly quality is their top priority. Wow, tidal wave of digital garbage incoming.
You talking as if that wave hasn’t crashed on shore already! Look all the garbage we get on a daily basis in general…
Haha, ya well, I was being a bit reserved. Won’t argue your statement whatsoever.
It’s unlikely all 48 games will even see the light of day.
Man THQ nordic and becoming big.
48 games for ten years I think…if it’s came out two years later,we know what the quality is…
4A can eat dog turd.
They’re always working on a game. They’ve been working on their supposed VR first person shooter for like 5 years now with no official announcement in sight.
As for THQN all of these games are going to be Epic exclusive so, good luck when THQ goes into bankruptcy a SECOND time.
By the way this is literally how THQ went out of business. They tried to fluff their income by churning out low quality, trash hollywood tie-ins and shovelware and collapsed under the financial stress of their own unsustainable business model and incompetence.
Nordic isn’t going to fare any better.
Maybe this time Crytek and whoever saved them can get involved and all of these trash studios/publishers can do down together and rid us of their stupidity. Maybe they could buy Spiders too.
Hilarious right considering Metro game franchise wouldn’t exist without PC and they intentionally shot themselves in both feet with Exodus.
Of course the majority came from console. They revealed the f’ing game in Microsofts E3 press conference. Console gamers can only play one game at a time because they don’t have half as many options. Then they’re going to go sell it to GameStop within 48 hours so they can re-sell it for $5 less than full price.
BS, on the PC it sold more then the last game in the first week and last game sold a lot.
DAMN DOG
I’m going to be the lone optimist and hope it works out well, I like having more games and the possibility of more great ones is always good
Not saying PC sales aren’t bad, but
1. You can’t really judge right now. PC sales have a longer tail in general for these games ( I think)
2. Epic probably paid them a lot of money anyway so…
They have the rights of the old Novalogic games since 2016, So I hope there wil be a new Delta Force game.
That was my favorite game series when I was a kid.
Where did he say this?
I really don’t care as they became the new egs lap dog
