A new Darksiders game is in the works
The gaming world is positively buzzing with the latest announcement from THQ Nordic: a new Darksiders game is on the horizon! This sensational announcement came as an exciting surprise at the end of the THQ Nordic 2024 presentation, where the trailer left fans on the edge of their seats, wanting more! The upcoming title will be the fifth installment in the popular series, following the three main games and a spin-off – and it's going to be amazing!
The Darksiders franchise has been a huge success since it first arrived on the scene, enthralling gamers with a unique blend of action-adventure gameplay and an apocalyptic story. In each game of the series, players can step into the shoes of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and the narrative is interwoven with biblical and mythological lore, bringing an extremely interesting gaming experience!
The trailer was short, but absolutely full of symbolism and references that any fan of the series will recognize. In a stunning revelation, the Coal World, overseer of the universe's balance, was shown to have awoken in an "impossibly old" room, his stony visage ablaze with otherworldly flames. In a thrilling display of power, they utter a single word: “Rider.” This word has sparked a lot of speculation among fans who are eagerly waiting to know what it means! I can't wait to find out if the new game will bring all four horsemen together in an epic adventure together, or if it will be another individual narrative at the forefront like we've seen in the previous games!
The Darksiders games are famous for their amazing ability to borrow elements from different genres, adding a special and amazing touch to each edition! From Zelda-like exploration and puzzle-solving in the first game to Souls-like challenges in the third game, the series has always been willing to reinvent itself and keep fans on their toes! Fans are on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting the new installment and wondering what incredible direction the developers will take.
While we don't have all the details yet, THQ Nordic has promised we'll get more information soon! One thing is for sure: the announcement has re-ignited the passion of the Darksiders community, who are already looking forward to a “new ride” in the end-of-the-world drama that only Darksiders can provide!
If you're new to the series or want to revisit previous games, now is the time to explore the rich narrative and action-packed gameplay that Darksiders has to offer! While we eagerly await further updates, the legacy of War, Death, Fury, and Strife continues to expand, promising new adventures and challenges in the apocalyptic landscape that has captivated players for over a decade.
