A New Darksiders Game Has Just Been Revealed: ‘Be Prepared to Ride Again…’ [IGN]

A brand-new Darksiders has just been revealed at the THQ Nordic Digital Showcase, and while we didn’t learn much, we do know that we should all “be prepared to ride again…”

As detailed by PlayStation.Blog, the currently untitled Darksiders project was given a brief teaser trailer that takes place in a fiery “chamber impossibly old.” In this chamber, there are “three colossal stone heads, suddenly set ablaze with otherworldly flames. The Charred Council awake, and roar a single word in unison: Horseman.”

Darksiders fans will remember the Charred Council as a trio who keeps balance in the universe and prevents one being from becoming too powerful.

As those familiar with the franchise know, the Darksiders franchise stars the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. 2010’s Darksiders starred War, 2012’s Darksiders II featured Death, 2018’s Darksiders III put players in Fury’s shoes, and Darksiders Genesis let players control Strife (and War!).

Could this game bring all Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse together for one grand adventure? Or will this be another spin-off title like Darksiders Genesis? We shouldn’t have too long to wait to find out, as THQ Nordic said it will have more to “share on where the world of Darksiders is going soon.”

This new Darksiders project was just one of the reveals from the THQ Nordic Digital Showcase, and it joined an unannounced Tarsier Studios title, Way of the Hunter: Lintukoto Reserve, the Gothic Remake, Titan Quest 2, Wreckfest 2, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, Space For Sale, and The Eternal Life of Goldman.
