What was announced at the THQ Nordic 2026 Showcase
- THQ Nordic announced and launched The Prisoner as a new DLC for Tarsier Studios’ horror game Reanimal.
- A trailer was released alongside the DLC reveal, featuring gameplay sequences that introduce a distinctly unsettling war-themed setting.
How Reanimal’s co-op story is set up
Reanimal is the latest project from the team behind the first two Little Nightmares. The base game is a cooperative adventure centered on two orphaned brothers searching for missing friends while trying to escape an island shaped by a dark secret.
What players do in the island’s horror adventure
Throughout the journey, the brothers explore eerie locations on foot and by boat, solving puzzles and surviving dangers that come from creatures inhabiting the game world. The narrative is built around themes including hope, redemption, and trauma, guiding the protagonists through dramatic situations and oppressive atmospheres.
A corrupted world with story tied to every location
The setting is described as a corrupted world packed with mysteries, with many areas to explore. The DLC’s release trailer ties into that larger tone by shifting the action into a war-like scenario, where each new place helps reveal additional parts of the story.
