Well, that was pretty fast. It was only hours ago that Darksiders 3 was leaked via a listing on Amazon.com. Now THQ Nordic has confirmed that the title is indeed coming and has issued a statement regarding the title.
“As promised, we have taken our time to ensure that this next Darksiders will be everything action-adventure gamers and especially Darksiders loyalists could dream of and more,” said Lars Wingefors, Co-Founder and Group CEO, THQ Nordic AB.
The company also announced that it is working with the team at Gunfire Games, which is largely comprised of the original creators of the Darksiders franchise, on development of the long and highly-anticipated project.
“The Gunfire team brings an intimate involvement with every aspect of the Darksiders franchise since its inception,” said Reinhard Pollice, Director of Business and Product Development, THQ Nordic. “There is simply no team better qualified to create Darksiders III, beginning with our unpredictable and enigmatic hero FURY – a mage who is considered the most powerful of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!”
Now, what’s interesting here is that Darksiders 3 will take place around the same time as Darksiders 2. In the recent trailer release, we see that War is still being held captive and accountable for his deeds. It is then that Fury is given the chance to take on the Seven Deadly Sins. A chance that she accepts, with utmost pleasure it seems. Though, it seems that she holds some sort of resentment towards her brother. So no idea if she’s doing it out of the kindness of her heart or what.
It’s also worth pointing out that judging from the backdrop, Darksiders 3 will take place on Earth or eventually will.
And if you haven’t guessed it by the trailer, IGN will have exclusive access to the game and will be covering Darksiders 3 for the month of May 2017.
