After a quick, obscure teaser final yr for a brand new Darksiders recreation, we finally have affirmation that Darksiders 4 is on the means. This teaser is additionally transient, however considerably much less obscure, successfully confirming that we’re finally going to get the decision of the long-standing cliffhanger that is haunted the collection since its 2010 debut.
I guess I ought to give a spoiler warning when you’re nonetheless trying to return and play the authentic Darksiders, however the ending is seemingly going to play fairly straight into Darksiders 4’s advertising, so your time could also be restricted on that entrance. Primarily, the Darksiders 1 finale sees Warfare, protagonist and one of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse, set to battle in opposition to Heaven, Hell, and the Council that governs the struggle between them.
In the dramatic conclusion, Warfare is requested if he’ll wage that battle alone. “No, not alone,” he growls out, as three distant shapes seem, burning by means of the sky: the different horsemen. In the recreation’s hyper-dramatic, over-the-top comedian ebook fashion, the second hits in an enormous means – or, a minimum of, it hit for me again when I first performed it on Xbox 360.
The announcement teaser for Darksiders 4 picks up that ending dialogue in full, exhibiting Warfare mount up and take to battle forward of the different three horsemen. And if there was any doubt about the recreation’s setup, the Steam page makes clear that the story “continues the place the authentic Darksiders recreation left off.”

Watch On
Notably, Darksiders 2, 3, and Genesis did not choose up the place that plot left off, which is an enormous half of the purpose I drifted away from the collection over the years – I wasn’t actually in prequels and aspect tales that sidestepped the most memorable second of a recreation I very a lot loved. The sluggish drift away from the grimdark tackle Zelda was admittedly additionally an enormous issue.
We do not know so much about how Darksiders 4 will play, however that retailer web page does affirm all of the horsemen will likely be playable, and all could have a novel fight fashion. Past that, we’ll “expertise fast-paced, visceral motion mixing melee, fluid traversal, and supernatural talents,” which actually might imply something – however my hopes are excessive it may possibly deliver on the recreation I’ve been imagining in my head for the previous 15 years.
Darksiders 4 is set to launch throughout PC, PS5, and Xbox Collection X/S, but it surely doesn’t but have a launch date.
