There ’s no telling what this CG annoyer is in reality for and whether it will be for another mainline title , which would beDarksiders 4 , or another tailspin - off in the same vein asDarksiders Genesis , a top - down take on the biz that featured two - player co - op . Although the series has been dormant for a while , it is once again an exciting time to be aDarksidersfan .
Although relatively iconic within the hack - and - virgule empyrean , theDarksidersfranchise has never hit the mainstream in the same way other titles likeDevil May Cryand , particularly , God of Warhave . Still , the franchise has earn its fair share of loyal fans thanks to itsstrong core premise of playing as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse . twin this with well - done and intriguing world - building , active , flashy gameplay , and a stylise esthetical , and it ’s well-situated to see why there is so much love forDarksiders .

Darksiders May Finally Be Getting A Sequel
It Could Be Strife’s Time To Shine
Darksidershas a strong premise in which players typically play one of theFour Horsemen of the Apocalypse , which are War , Death , Wrath , and Strife . inquisitively , the first rubric is the latest game in the timeline , provided that the prologue is ignored since there is a one - hundred - year time gap after that . Within those one hundred old age in which War is jug for set off the Apocalypse and causing a war , which one would mean is all in his business description , the next two game take place , set aside players to curb Death and Wrath .
Although he was playable in theDarksiders Genesisspin - off , which is also a prequel , Strife is the only member of the Horsemen not to welcome a title in which he is in the sole starring office . state of war , last , and Wrath have all had their sentence to shine alone , but the tormentor could be a subsequence in which Strife is the core protagonist . It would be a dependable stake , with the biz perchance taking position within the one hundred years War is imprisoned — since a century is a long time and leave the developer a lot to work with .
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are not always consistent between different media , with the Bible have Conquest , War , Famine , and end .

discord is different from the other Four Horsemen in that he specify in small-arm , while the other three all have melee weapons , as would be look of a ward-heeler - and - separatrix game . If his gameplay fromGenesisis anything to go by , he is agile but will be something immensely dissimilar from the other Horsemen . He ’s also witty , firing a identification number of one - liners , while the other Horsemen that have had the starring theatrical role thus far are reasonably ego - serious , which could also alter the tone of the game too .
A late job listing suggests that one of 2023 ’s most popular open - world games is returning for a sequel that ’s already in active development .
What The Darksiders Sequel Could Be
Co-op Could Make A Roaring Return
Gunfire Games could finally resolve to take the franchise beyond the first claim for once , which could still asterisk Strife . It could also be a carbon monoxide - op risky venture , asDarksiders’ending is a cliffhanger in which War calls upon the other Horsemen to add up to his aid , and they are seen as comets of disagree colour racing across the sky . This has been something that fans of the series have wanted for a while , andDarksiders Genesiscould have been a guide for this since both War and Strife are playable together .
InDarksiders , the Horsemen are the last of the Nephilim , a now - nonextant slipstream digest from a union of Angels and Demons .
With its biblical setting of angel and demon warring against one another and the rise of hack - and - slash games , with the the like ofStellar Blade , Hi - Fi Rush , and the upcomingBlack Myth : Wukong , this could be the perfect fourth dimension for a newDarksiders . There ’s no telling what exactly the teaser is for and when the biz will specifically take place , but another strong entry with the hack - and - slash gameplay of a cultus classic would generate involvement . Whether it is a subsequence or a spin - off , a newDarksidersis a good sign for the iconic plot serial .
There are a few options as to where the series can go , too , so a new entry would n’t feel strained . A game star Strife during War ’s one - hundred - yr captivity would be a safe wager for Darksiders4 , or the franchise could go where none of the other games have cash in one’s chips beyond the timeline of its first game . The new game could even be a tailspin - off , likeGenesis , in which the view changes , but all - in - all , it ’s a good affair thatDarksidersis back .
