THQ Nordic won’t be attending E3 this year

THQ Nordic won’t be attending E3 2018 this year, the company confirmed today. Rather than showing up for the expo, the publisher has decided to be home for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

THQ Nordic does intend to be present for Gamescom 2018. Upcoming titles as well as some unannounced games will be shown there.

We’ve included the full press release from THQ Nordic below.

It is with great regret that we at THQ Nordic must report that we will be unable to miss a single moment of this great sporting event. Therefore, we will be forced to stay in our lovely Viennese beer gardens, blowing the froth off a couple, watching football and one or two cool press conferences on Twitch (looking at you, Devolver) instead of rocking it ourselves.

We have to admit, we are going to miss our 9 AM pint of beer in the „Ye Olde King’s Head“-Pub in Santa Monica, where they show all matches live, but with the World Cup being held in Russia, it would mean a 7 AM beer – that’s too early, even for Austrians, let alone the Swedes.

We are looking forward to presenting all our great upcoming games like Darksiders 3, Biomutant, Fade to Silence or Wreckfest and even some unannounced titles for the first time at gamescom in Cologne, Germany and shortly after at PAX West in Seattle!
