THQ Nordic has teased a new Darksiders game

THQ Nordic has teased that a new Darksiders game is on the way.

At the end of its recent THQ Nordic Digital Showcase, a teaser trailer revealed that Darksiders is returning in some form.

The teaser shows the Charred Council from the series, who shout “horseman”, before the phrase “be prepared to ride again” is shown.

THQ Nordic confirmed on the Xbox Wire blog that the teaser referred to a new Darksiders game, but didn’t confirm whether it was a sequel, a remake or a remaster.

“The foreboding rumble of caverns eons old,” it reads. “Embers swirl through the air, cast up from pools of bubbling lava.

“Three enormous heads, hewn from otherworldly stone suddenly burst into life with mystical flame. The Charred Council roar a single word in unison: Horseman.

“It won’t be long until we reveal more about where the Darksiders series is going next, but for now, know this – the Four Horsemen will ride again.

There have been three main games in the Darksiders series to date, with each putting the players in the role of a different horseman of the apocalypse – War in Darksiders, Death in Darksiders II and Fury in Darksiders III.

There was also a top-down spin-off called Darksiders Genesis released in 2019, in which players controlled the fourth horseman, Strife.

The first two games have received enhanced editions, with the Darksiders: Wasmastered Edition and Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition.
