Off the back of this, they founded Alkimia Interactive in Barcelona specifically for the remake, and they’ve been plugging away at it ever since. We’ve had occasional check-ins with the game since then, but a first playable public demo is an exciting milestone.

And rounding things out is Titan Quest 2. This was announced during THQ Nordic’s showcase last August, and promises a more tactical approach to the
