The highly anticipated Darksiders 4 is set to revolutionize the franchise with its innovative multiplayer capabilities, offering gamers the unprecedented opportunity to join forces as the legendary Four Horsemen. Recent announcements confirm the game will support both online cooperative play for up to four players and local split-screen functionality, fulfilling a long-standing fan request.

During THQ Nordic's August showcase event, developers officially unveiled Darksiders 4 as a direct continuation of the original game's narrative, picking up the story fifteen years after the events of Darksiders 1. While specific gameplay mechanics remain under wraps, previews suggest an ambitious blend of dynamic combat, environmental puzzles, and expansive world traversal featuring all four iconic characters - War, Death, Fury, and Strife - as fully playable protagonists.

The most exciting revelation comes from official store listings on PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam platforms, which confirm Darksiders 4 will offer flexible cooperative options. Players can experience the apocalyptic adventure solo or team up with friends through online multiplayer supporting 2-4 participants. Industry reports from IGN and Push Square further indicate the inclusion of split-screen functionality for local couch co-op, though this feature may currently support only two players simultaneously.

Curiously, the game's official website makes no explicit mention of these multiplayer features, despite their potential as major selling points. This discrepancy has led to speculation that certain cooperative elements, particularly the local split-screen mode, might undergo changes or removal before the final release. The current store descriptions exclusively reference online multiplayer capabilities.
