The gaming world is buzzing with excitement as THQ Nordic officially announces Darksiders 4, marking a long-awaited return to the beloved franchise. This installment promises to be a true sequel to the original game, bringing together all four Horsemen as playable characters. While details remain scarce, fans can look forward to experiencing the game on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

The announcement came during the THQ Nordic showcase on August 2, 2024, where a teaser trailer hinted at the game's direction. Unlike previous spin-offs like Darksiders 2, 3, and Genesis, this title will pick up where the original left off, finally answering the cliffhanger from the first game.

The teaser trailer cleverly revisits the iconic dialogue between Uriel and War from the original game's ending. As War declares he won't fight alone, the other Horsemen—Death, Fury, and Strife—join him, setting the stage for an epic cooperative adventure.

What We Know About Darksiders 4

According to the Steam page, Darksiders 4 will retain the series' signature blend of third-person action-adventure gameplay, featuring intricate puzzles and fast-paced combat. Players can expect a mix of melee attacks, fluid traversal, and supernatural abilities, with each Horseman offering unique weapons and fighting styles. The inclusion of online co-op suggests the possibility of simultaneous multiplayer gameplay.

A Long-Awaited Sequel

Fans have waited 15 years for a true sequel to the original Darksiders. While spin-offs explored individual Horsemen's stories, Darksiders 4 finally advances the overarching narrative. The anticipation is palpable, especially given the franchise's dedicated fanbase.

However, patience will be required. THQ Nordic has yet to announce a release date, and the absence of gameplay footage indicates development is still in early stages. Whether the game arrives in 2026 or later, its confirmation alone has reignited excitement for the series.
