New Mode Coming to SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated

A new multiplayer mode is coming in the remake.

If there is one thing that everyone was clamoring for, it's more multiplayer modes. That seems to be the idea behind a new mode announcement for SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated. A new multiplayer mode was just announced today along with a new multiplayer focused trailer.

The new mode is one that we've seen plenty of times in other games by now. It's a horde mode. Weird, right? It's you and a friend...

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated Announced

Published from the studio that hosted an AMA on a site banned for child exploitation.

A remake of the old SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom was announced today by THQ Nordic. The publisher said that the remake is called SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated and it is being developed by Purple Lamp Studios.

There isn't too much to go on right now from today's announcement. I assume it's just the old game but given a fresh coat of paint....

'Absolute Majority' of Metro Exodus Sales Were on Consoles

THQ Nordic founder tries to avoid talking about Epic Games Store sales figures.

Lars Wingefors, THQ Nordic's CEO and founder, seemed rather reserved when talking about the sales figures for some of THQ's most publicized releases this past year. Specifically, he shied away from talking specifics when it comes to PC sales of games like Metro Exodus and outright ignores another question regarding sales of Satisfactory.

A lot of this information came courtesy of the latest...

THQ CEO Offers Largely Hollow Apology Following Disgusting AMA

It's been roughly one week since THQ Nordic GmbH decided to do an AMA on 8chan, a site that is best known for allegations that they host and link to suspected child pornography, a site that contains rampant racism, a site that engages in harassment campaigns, and a site that engages in doxxing. These are just a few of their most notable "issues." Again, it's a place where people go when even 4chan thinks they're too fucked up.

It took THQ Nordic over 15 hours to remove...

THQ Nordic Just Held a Q&A on a Site Banned for Child Exploitation

Since then, the company has issued an apology saying that they did not do their "proper due diligence to understand the history and the controversy of the site." They're full of shit.

A bit earlier today, THQ Nordic's PR team of Philipp Brock and Reinhard Pollice thought it would be a grand idea to host a Q&A (otherwise known as an "Ask Me Anything" or AMA) on 8chan. For those happily unaware, 8chan has been involved in multiple instances of child abuse, child...

"Horse With No Name" Darksiders 3 Trailer

It's the day after Thanksgiving, but that didn't stop THQ from releasing a new trailer for Darksiders 3. The trailer, called "Horse With No Name" is all about, I presume, going through the desert on a horse with, you know, no name.

For some, the original song (by the band America) is related to series, movies, or games (Breaking Bad, Parks and Recreation, The Simpsons, Six Feet Under, F.R.I.E.N.D.S., Air America, Hideous Kinky, The Trip, American Hustle, GTA San Andreas etc.). For
