THQ Nordic have announcedTitan Quest 2, a sequel to Iron Lore Entertainment’s action RPG of 2006, which was kind of a classical variation on Diablo with players touring Ancient Greece, Egypt and China in search of chthonic beasts to slay. The new game is the work of Grimlore Games, creator ofSpellforce IIIand one of THQ Nordic’s first internal development studios. It sees you hunting down Nemesis, goddess of retribution, who has gone a bit do-lally and is meddling with the Threads of Fate.

The originalTitan Queststands proud at 35th on ourbest RPGslist. THQ Nordic have released abunchofexpansionssince grabbing the IP followingthe demise of the original THQ in 2013. I have to say, I never played Titan Quest - I was more of aDungeon Siegeguy. How do you feel about another helping of action-RPG in this, the year ofDiablo 4?
