THQ Nordic is set to invigorate the Nintendo Switch lineup by releasing enhanced versions of four fan-favorite games across the new Nintendo Switch 2 and original Nintendo Switch hardware in 2026.
Building on the success of its catalog and leveraging the improved capabilities of the latest Nintendo platform, the publisher will deliver visually upgraded and content-rich experiences to both longtime fans and new players. Leading the charge, THQ Nordic will launch three titles—Destroy All Humans!, Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed, and Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed—on Nintendo Switch 2, each taking advantage of the system's powerful new architecture.
Meanwhile, SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide, previously announced for Switch 2, will be coming to the original Nintendo Switch as well, expanding its reach to the broad global install base. Let’s break down what players can expect from these upcoming releases: Destroy All Humans! (Nintendo Switch 2 – June 23, 2026) The cult-classic alien invasion series returns with an upgraded experience on Nintendo Switch 2.
The remastered edition features richer visuals, denser worlds, and enhanced shaders, with support for full HD up to 1440p.
Players once again control Crypto, wielding outlandish alien weaponry and psychic abilities, as they wreak havoc, harvest DNA, and dominate humanity—all with sharp comedic flair.
The Switch 2 release also includes the popular Skin Pack DLC, ensuring fans have access to a range of in-game cosmetic options from day one. Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed (Nintendo Switch 2 – September 15, 2026) Arriving a few months later, Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed lets players experience the swinging 1960s through comedic alien eyes.
This sequel offers an expansive, open-world adventure packed with destruction, disguises, and eccentric characters.
The Switch 2 version ships with both the Reprobed: Skin Pack and Challenge Accepted DLC, delivering even more content.
Notably, the Switch 2 edition will not support local campaign co-op, but it makes up for it with larger environments and significant performance enhancements. Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed (Nintendo Switch 2 – October 6, 2026) The beloved Disney action-platformer is reimagined with vibrant 3D visuals and modern controls optimized for Switch 2's Joy Con 2 controllers.
Players join Mickey Mouse on a magical quest through Wasteland, a world of forgotten Disney characters.
The remake boasts higher visual fidelity, increased frame rates, and a unique Mouse Mode for intuitive control.
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed also includes the Costume Pack DLC, adding extra value for fans and collectors alike. SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide (Nintendo Switch – October 13, 2026) THQ Nordic is bringing SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide to the Nintendo Switch, making it accessible to audiences beyond the latest hardware.
Players can switch between SpongeBob and Patrick, mastering unique abilities and embarking on a new, ghostly adventure fully voiced by the original cast.
The game’s storyline chronicles the battle between the Flying Dutchman and King Neptune, tasking the heroes with restoring order to Bikini Bottom. By delivering upgraded experiences on Nintendo Switch 2 and broadening the reach of its titles on the original Switch, THQ Nordic demonstrates its commitment to Nintendo fans across all platforms.
Each title benefits from technical improvements and extra content, setting a high bar for Switch releases in 2026.
