Publisher THQ Nordic, alongside developer Gunfire Games, has officially announced the upcoming release of Darksiders 4 with a brief teaser trailer. The game is in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam, although a specific release date has not yet been disclosed.
Darksiders 4 promises to combine combat, traversal mechanics, and puzzle-solving set within the franchise’s well-established apocalyptic lore. Fans of the series can anticipate a returning gameplay experience, enhanced to leverage modern hardware capabilities.
Players will embody one of the iconic Horsemen, engaging in what is described as “cinematic combat.” Each Horseman will bring unique weapons and combat styles, enriching the variety of gameplay.
Previously, Gunfire Games directed the development of Darksiders III and Darksiders Genesis, the latter introducing an isometric cooperative format to the series. In contrast, Darksiders 4 appears to revert to the franchise’s traditional style while incorporating technical advancements suitable for current-generation gaming platforms.
The reveal of Darksiders 4 raises excitement among fans eager to explore the next chapter in the beloved franchise, as it appears to honor the series’ roots while embracing contemporary game design elements. This combination could lead to an exhilarating new adventure for both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
