It's most probably a Painkiller sequel. But I can't ignore the fact that Sam Lake is also posting some pictures with intriguing comments on his Instagram. Like he is teasing something....
For example just yesterday he posted a pic of a well with this comment: "Just a step closer," the voice sang from the well. "We know you're thirsty."

I guess we will know for sure in a month or so...
Don't play with my emotions.
Don't they own the Red Faction IP?
Also post apocalyptic AND Kung fu you say?
Could it be anything else? Well a New IP I guess..
interesting ... and Nordic co-published QB

Kung-Funny game has my interest. Nordic feels like they're trying to bring back the B-level game and I welcome it.
Has to be Painkiller since it's horror and is one of the most well-known IP they have that isn't currently being used.
In 2012 they published a game the remade the original game and several expansion pack levels with a new story:
I bought a digital PS3 copy for $4 at the beginning of the month.

Eh, he was doing a lot of that, posting cryptic Alan Wake-y type stuff before the XBO console reveal. I'd love to be wrong, but I don't think it means anything.

Wait ! post apocalypse Kung Fu ? I need it! They have good ips but maybe the sequel is painkiller if they still own it.

I was on a flight with a guy who is friends with some people at THQ Nodic. He told me they were working on a new Titan Quest. Pretty cool if it proves to be true.
Nordic doesn't really have the coffers to comfortably fund a fully-fledged Alan Wake sequel that may underperform. The original is practically episodic, though, so that approach could also be applied to development.

Damn right! Into the Badlands rocks.
Haha, it was admittedly the safe assumption to make as Crate is independent and even has the Titan Quest engine in addition to the lineage and thereby the requisite level of experience. 2018 is sooner than I would guessed, however.
Damn, a new Painkiller would be pretty awesome. The only downside would be if they tried to make it some multiplayer only free to play thing. I could defientely see that as a possibility. While Painkiller was pretty fun to watch back in the day it doesn't really have a place in competitive anywhere.
If there is a God.

Interesting. I'd certainly be down for a Alan Wake sequel

Yay, another open world game, just what we need. What's next? Diablo, Destiny, Division, Anthem loot system, maybe microtransactions as topping?
Yeah I know, it's called RPG, but these games are technically RPGs too and we all know, what prints money will be copied 500 times until nobody can see it anymore.

Post apocalyptic Kung Fu?
Is that The Story of Ricky? I haven't revisited that for a good laugh in ages!
Watching this with subtitles on and English dub at the same time is incredible.
The post apocalyptic kung-fu game is a new IP so not based on an existing license.

The kung-fu fable angle probably means a melee focus, so that's at least somewhat unique.
For the other game I wouldn't exactly call Painkiller "mysterious", so I doubt that's it. Do they publish any of those HP Lovecraft games?

But along with Kung-Fu!?

I'd play the shit out of this, just to play out all the backstabbing.
THQ Nordic just announced a new entry in the The Black Mirror series made by King Arts(Book of Unwritten Tales, Dwarfs).
Wonder if this is the "well-known, mysterious and horrific IP" THQ talked about...
