When Darksiders hit consoles in 2010, it left gamers with the tantalizing cliffhanger of the protagonist, War, ready to fight ready to fight the forces of Heaven, Hell, and the Council. Now, after 15 years, the ending of the original game is revisited in the first teaser for Darksiders 4. The announcement video recalls Darksiders’ closing moments as War is joined by his fellow Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Death, Fury, and Strife.
The sequel was officially unveiled today during THQ Nordic’s online preview event. The publisher confirmed that Darksiders 4 will continue the story directly after the first game and allow up to four players to ride together as the Four Horsemen through co-op.
Darksiders and its sequels take place in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a conflict between Heaven and Hell. War was initially blamed for triggering the apocalypse early, and then given the chance to prove his innocence by searching for the one responsible.
