Let’s fucking gooooooooo!

But I also am a bit skeptical, because while I did enjoy 3, it wasn’t the greatness of the first two games and that studio is long gone too, sadly.

Reasonably hyped. These games are still good fun even today. The udpate for Darksiders II gave life to that game. I should finish it sometime.

I’m hyped for Darksiders 4 but it was announced a year ago at the THQ Showcase 2024. I don’t like that for whatever reason, Strife doesn’t seem to be getting his own adventure. War, Death and Fury all had theirs but Strife doesn’t get his own? I don’t get it.

Really hoping that this isn’t a co-op/multi-player focused game. Ugh.

Darksiders 2 was an uneven game with a lot of bloat and some dumb design decisions like the inclusion of diablo-like loot and big open (and most of the time empty) areas ΙΜΟ. I thought that Darksiders 3 was a much more focused experience with really good level design plus Fury was a much more interesting protagonist than Death.

That being said the first Darksiders is still my favorite game in the series, I replayed the remaster last year and the game still holds up very nicely. Genesis is also a great one even though it’s criminally underrated and underappreciated, didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did.

Can’t wait for Darksiders 4!

Darksiders 4 = 4 player-coop

I guess marketing thought they were geniuses.

I’m sure the game will be playable entirely solo, so that’s fine.

Yeah it’s a bit disappointing that we’ve passed a full year and this is all they show. A cinematic two years in a row, nah.

Isn’t the creator for this one the same as Remnant 2. If so, then they had their hands full with that.

It seems like Darksiders 4 is going to be a single player action adventure game but you can choose between any of the four characters. I don’t know if it’s on the fly or if you choose one to play through the entire game with.
