After a quick, imprecise teaser final 12 months for a brand new Darksiders recreation, we finally have affirmation that Darksiders 4 is on the approach. This teaser is additionally transient, however considerably much less imprecise, successfully confirming that we’re finally going to get the decision of the long-standing cliffhanger that is haunted the sequence since its 2010 debut.
I guess I ought to give a spoiler warning in case you’re nonetheless wanting to return and play the authentic Darksiders, however the ending is seemingly going to play fairly straight into Darksiders 4’s advertising and marketing, so your time could also be restricted on that entrance. Primarily, the Darksiders 1 finale sees Struggle, protagonist and one of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse, set to struggle towards Heaven, Hell, and the Council that governs the conflict between them.
In the dramatic conclusion, Struggle is requested if he’ll wage that struggle alone. “No, not alone,” he growls out, as three distant shapes seem, burning by the sky: the different horsemen. In the recreation’s hyper-dramatic, over-the-top comedian e-book model, the second hits in an enormous approach – or, at the least, 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 Struggle 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 decide up the place that plot left off, which is an enormous half of the motive I drifted away from the sequence over the years – I wasn’t actually in prequels and facet 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 lots about how Darksiders 4 will play, however that retailer web page does verify all of the horsemen shall be playable, and all can have a singular fight model. Past that, we’ll “expertise fast-paced, visceral motion mixing melee, fluid traversal, and supernatural talents,” which actually may imply something – however my hopes are excessive it will 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, however it doesn’t but have a launch date.
In case you’re wanting for extra video games like Zelda, you already know the place to click on.
