So although the gameplay was a bit ‘ God of War - esque’, the plot itself worked well enough with it anyway, so it hardly mattered. War is taken aback by this and vows to hunt down the individual who actually started the conflict in hopes of not being damned for all eternity. Being seen as the cause for the fake Apocalypse, he is thus removed from the battle between Heaven and Hell and is set to be punished by the sacred Charred Council for his error. (huh… what is it good for? Okay, I’ll stop.) The plot goes as such during a battle on Earth, War mistakenly answers the ‘Call of the Apocalypse’ before his time. Move away from the similar gameplay, though, and one would be able to find an interesting story following one of the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse. Starting off, we have the first entry into the franchise, Darksiders, which was released in 2010 (Riveting stuff, I know.) In regards to actual gameplay and story, Darksiders filled in a nice gap between both but was quickly deemed the classic ‘ God of War clone’, such as Dante’s Inferno and the like.

However, this leaves a certain question unanswered what happened between the timeframe of Darksiders II and III? Well before we get into that, let’s do a quick catch up on the Darksiders series as a whole. This left many fans scratching their heads wondering if THQ was ever going to bring another game to light, which they eventually did.

Sure, there was speculation here and there, but nothing really concrete to go on. With that being said, however, what happened to Darksiders!? It had been around five years (not counting the remasters) since the last entry was released with absolutely no news after that. Well hats off to THQ Nordic for the surprise announcement! I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who was more than a little excited to see the reveal of a third Darksiders game.
