Darksiders 4, officially announced by THQ Nordic and Gunfire Games on August 2, during the THQ Nordic 2025 showcase, is a highly anticipated third-person action-adventure game set in a lore-rich, post-apocalyptic world, continuing the saga of the Four Horsemen—War, Death, Strife, and Fury. A brief teaser trailer revealed during the announcement showcased all four Horsemen, hinting at their playable roles for the first time in a mainline Darksiders game, revisiting the iconic ending dialogue from the original Darksiders where War declares he won’t fight alone, joined by his siblings, though no gameplay footage was shown, indicating early development stages.
The game promises cinematic, fast-paced combat blending visceral melee, fluid traversal, and supernatural abilities, alongside exploration of expansive, apocalyptic landscapes filled with secrets, enemies, and mythic bosses. It introduces online co-op for 2-4 players, single-player, and split-screen modes, potentially allowing multiple players to control different Horsemen, each with unique weapons and combat styles. Darksiders 4 is a direct sequel to the original game, continuing the Horsemen’s battle against various factions, and is in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, with no Nintendo Switch version announced, sparking fan discussions about third-party support for the Switch 2. No specific release date or pricing details have been provided, as the game is still early in development, with no pre-order information available; fans can check Official Website or Steam Store for future updates.
