Many people were surprised when THQ Nordic officially announced Darksiders 4 during their recent Digital Showcase. This news was a pleasant surprise for fans of the long-running hack-and-slash action-adventure series.
It meant that they would be able to play more games in 2025. The announcement comes after a long break for the main series. It looks like the story will pick up right where the first Darksiders game left off, which has been fans’ main goal for years.
A big part of THQ Nordic’s showcase was showing off Darksiders 4. There were also trailers for a dozen other games, such as Reanimal and The Eternal Life of Goldman.
The fourth game in the series about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will be made by Gunfire Games, the same company that made the critically acclaimed Remnant series and previous Darksiders games.
One of the most exciting things that has been confirmed is that all four Horsemen will be playable again. They are War, Death, Fury, and Strife. Darksiders Genesis, the 2019 prequel that added Strife as a playable character and added to the story, laid the groundwork for this.
Being able to pick which Horseman to play as suggests a varied game experience, letting players explore the various fighting styles and skills that are unique to each character.
How to Play World of Darksiders 4
The Darksiders 4 teaser was short, but it showed some of the most important things about the series:
“combat, exploration, and puzzle-solving in a world full of story after the end of the world” This proves that the game will keep the mix of intense action, tricky environmental navigation, and hard puzzles that fans have come to expect.
The post-apocalyptic setting that is typical of the Darksiders universe will definitely make the Horsemen’s fight against the forces of Heaven and Hell more interesting.
It has been confirmed that Darksiders 4 will come out on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, but no date has been set yet. The launch on multiple platforms means that many gamers will be able to play the next part of the Darksiders series.
The news about Darksiders 4 was only one part of a much bigger picture that THQ Nordic put together. The publisher said that an amazing 28 games are being worked on right now, and 15 of them have not been shown to the public yet.
This dedication to a strong development pipeline shows that THQ Nordic has big plans for the future and there will be a lot of new games coming out soon.
Final words
People who like the series are very excited about the official announcement of Darksiders 4. It looks like the game will go back to its roots and let players play as all four famous Horsemen. The excitement for this surprising but highly anticipated title will only grow as more information comes out.
