New Darksiders Game Confirmed by THQ Nordic
Remember Darksiders? The hack-and-slash action game that kicked off with the first one in 2010 that starred War? Well, it seems the franchise is back, as THQ Nordic has confirmed a new Darksiders game is in development!
The announcement was part of the THQ Nordic Showcase that aired today, and while there’s no gameplay, title or any pertinent info released, we do know that it’ll feature the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse; as to what capacity, we have no clue.
From the PlayStation Blog, the trailer reveal had this little bit of info:
The ominous rumble of a chamber impossibly old. Scorching ash suspended in the air, spewed forth by roiling lava.
Three colossal stone heads, suddenly set ablaze with otherworldly flames. The Charred Council awake, and roar a single word in unison: Horseman.
It’s currently unknown whether this is a reboot of the franchise, Darksiders 4, or an entirely new entry that turns it into a live service game (hopefully not), though given what the teaser announcement shows, this seems like a straight up sequel since it shows the Council.
What we do know is that it’s being developed by Gunfire Games, which is comprised of former Vigil Games staff members who worked on the original games. Given how great Remnant 2 turned out, this is definitely good news, as the game is in good hands.
Brief rundown of the Darksiders franchise: The first game was released in 2010 and featured War, while the second game was released two years later in 2012 and starred Death as the protagonist. The last mainline entry was Darksiders 3 released in 2018, and featured Fury. Sadly, we didn’t get the planned fourth mainline entry game which was set to star Strife. What we did get was a spinoff game titled “Darksiders Genesis,” which was a top-down action game that featuresd Strife and War, and this game was developed by Airship Syndicate.
We’re excited as you for this new Darksiders game, and once we know more, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
