The remaster of the second installment of the popular saga is updated for the current generation
Today, THQ Nordic just announce about what Darsiders II: Final Death Edition will arrive on Xbox Series X|S with an update for this generation of consoles. This new version will arrive on October 15 on Xbox Series and Playstation 5, but if you have already purchased the game for Xbox One or PS4, will be updated for free
Darksiders II: Deathfinitive Edition was a remastering of the popular sequel to the Darksiders saga, which had the horseman Death as its protagonist. This edition ended up reaching Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch, as well as PC with some improvements and all the DLCs. In addition, it also received an improvement patch for Xbox One X which added more detail and better performance.
The game’s creators clarified that this is not the same project that was recently announced regarding a new installment in the franchise.DISCLAIMER: We would like to clarify that the Darksiders trailer from Digital Showcase 2024 @THQNordic
At the moment it has not been specified what kind of improvements this new version will bring, but if the Xbox One X runs in 4K Ultra HD, we should expect some kind of improvement in textures and higher performance. Of course, they include other types of functions, so we will have to wait for the announcement.
This announcement seems a bit strange, as there is no mention of a new revision of the first game, Darksiders: Warmastered Edition, which also added some improvements on Xbox One and others on Xbox One. Are they doing a remake? Let’s hope to find out soon.
