Darksiders and its four charismatic Horsemen of the Apocalypse finally return from hell five years after the friendly and original Genesis, with the announcement of a brand new game.
While genesis was developed by Airship Interactive, while THQ Nordic entrusted the new Darksiders licensed game to Gunfire Games. As a reminder, we owe this studio a third work that somehow wanted to appropriate the Souls-like formula. Let’s see what the Four Horsemen of Hell have in store for us for their next exit from hell.
The Darksiders are back in full force
With four games under its belt (released in 2010, 2012, 2018 and 2019), the Darksiders license has built a relatively good reputation. Its original take on the myth of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and its very comical artistic direction have contributed greatly to its success. In addition, each game has always tried a different approach (Zelda-like, then looter-slasher, then Souls-like and finally hack’n slash). In any case, here is a fifth (and a priori last) game, recently announced by THQ Nordic.
We are talking about a teaser here, as we only see the Ardent Council, a recurring element in the Darksiders games. Unfortunately, no gameplay in sight and only at the end of the trailer a sober: ” Be ready to get back in the saddle “. The subtitle of the video also reads: ” The four horsemen of Darksiders will ride again “. Since War, Death, Fury and Discord already had their own game each, we can look forward to a new opus that will allow you to play them all. Whether this takes the form of a title in the style of Gotham Knights/Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (in which case, let’s hope for a more convincing result for the license…) or not remains to be seen.
Of course, there is no release date yet for this little taste of the next Darksiders. We can definitely expect an arrival on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series. Note that the license celebrates its 15th anniversary next year. Whether or not this new game will be a birthday present for fans, only the underworld knows…
