Darksiders IV
Release Date: TBA
The fourth mainline installment of the popular TPP action-adventure series, focused on the Horsemen of the Apocalypse (all four of them appear in the game). THQ Nordic and Gunfire Games studio (creators of Darksiders III and the Remnant series) are behind the development of Darksiders 4.
The Darksiders series has come a long way since 2010, when its first installment debuted. Darksiders and its sequel Darksiders II were the works of Vigil Games studio. After the premiere of the second of the mentioned titles, the brand changed its owner to THQ Nordic, and its development began to be handled by other development teams.
Among them, Gunfire Games, founded by veterans from the previous studio, took the lead and in 2018 released a full-fledged sequel titled Darksiders III. Less than seven years later, Darksiders 4 described here, was officially announced. The same studio is behind its development.
Games from the Darksiders series share a universe and a general approach to gameplay. Productions under this banner take us to a post-apocalyptic world, and throughout the subsequent adventures, we embody the individual Horsemen of the Apocalypse, namely War, Death, Fury, and Strife (who debuted in the spin-off game titled Darksiders Genesis). The first full-fledged trailer for Darksiders 4 revealed that all four characters will appear in the game.
We can watch the action from a third-person perspective (TPP) and visit both fantastic locations and devastated cities. As we explore them, we carry out the quests set before us, solve environmental puzzles, and fight the enemies we encounter.
The gameplay in each part of the series is based on a different pillar, and at the time of writing these words, it is not exactly known what direction the developers behind the fourth Darksiders will take. While the first part of the series was an action-adventure game, the second turned towards the RPG genre, and the third drew inspirations from soulslike games. Darksiders Genesis, on the other hand, was an isometric action game with RPG elements, reminiscent of Sacred 3.

Darksiders is a series of action adventure games with RPG elements and a third-person perspective. The plot of the series is loosely based on the biblical Book of Revelation, also known as the Revelation of St. John. The characters of the protagonists are reminiscent of the famous Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and the backdrop for the gameplay is the dramatic scenes of the end of the world - angels and demons fight in the ruins of modern cities, bringing death and destruction to a defenseless civilization of humans.
After months of silence, Darksiders 4 is finally coming out of the shadows. During the THQ Nordic show, we received the first trailer for the new installment of the iconic series.
