Okay, let’s give this a whirl. So, THQ Nordic and Gunfire Games—I guess they just decided to throw all the Horsemen into the mix this time, huh? Yep, Darksiders 4 is a thing now, courtesy of their big Friday showcase. And we’re back on Earth, but not like the one outside your window right now. It’s that apocalypse Earth, picking up the trail from the very first game.
Now, here’s the thing, it’s all about mixing up third-person action with some exploring, a bit of hopping around, and puzzles that might make your brain itch. That’s what THQ Nordic says, anyway. Oh, and all the Horsemen—War, Death, Fury, Strife—are tagging along. Solo or team up if that’s your vibe.
If you’re wondering “Wait, what about Darksiders 3?” Yeah, that was back in 2018 with Fury at the helm. They must’ve been inspired by some Metroidvania and Soulslike stuff then. Gunfire Games got sidetracked with their Remnant series, but hey, they’re back on deck now.
And the latest, Darksiders Genesis? That was more of an isometric pit stop in 2019. As for when Darksiders 4 hits your console or PC? They’re keeping us in the dark, for now. But they’ve confirmed it’s coming to PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X. So, gear up when it lands, whenever that is.
