A new Darksiders game is officially in the works, as confirmed by THQ Nordic during their showcase event today.
The teaser trailer shows a cavern which is lit up by the Charred Council as they loudly exclaim, “HORSEMEN!” before text pops up informing us that we should “Be prepared to ride again.”
It’s not known if this is Darksiders 4, or another spinoff game in the vein of the surprisingly good Darksiders Genesis. What we do know is that Gunfire Games is developing it, the same studio that gave us the rather meh Darksiders 3.
If it is Darksiders 4, then it raises a few possibilities: would Strife be the starring character, as he is the only one of the four Horsemen to not star in a mainline entry, or would this be the game that finally brings War, Death, Fury and Strife together?
We must also consider the possibility that it’s a remaster of Darksiders 3 since the first two games have been given the remaster treatment in the past. The trailer feels too vague for a remaster, though.
Whatever it ends up being, I’m excited. I have a special place in my heart for the Darksiders franchise, with the second game being my favourite.
