THQ Nordic: The Raven Remastered, Sphinx and the cursed Mummy, and The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 on Switch
In the past few years, THQ Nordic has acquired (and is still acquiring!) the rights to many games and series, and so it’s no wonder the publisher would end up with quite a lot of games for the Nintendo Switch. In fact, the publisher announced no less than 3 games at once yesterday: The Raven Remastered, Sphinx and the cursed Mummy, and The Book of Unwritten Tales 2.
They will all be released in early 2019 in Europe and North America at retail and on the Nintendo eShop, and they will cost 29.99€ / £26.99 / $29.99 each. You will find details, but also a trailer and some pictures (including boxarts), for each title below!
