Darksiders III—what a ride! More than 13 years ago, four ambitious developers set out to create a new game. They wanted to create something truly unique and memorable and eventually they ended up with their take on the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
After years of development, Darksiders—Wrath of War saw the light of the day in 2010. It was a truly amazing game and piece of art. Back in those days I wasn’t part of the development journey. I was a player who was a fan of Zelda and was intrigued by Darksiders’ take on this gameplay formula.
In 2013, we at THQ Nordic had the opportunity to become the owners of Darksiders and from the day we closed this deal we wanted to create a new Darksiders game that truly lives up to the franchise foundation and deeply committed fans’ expectations.
We chose to give Fury, the third of the Four Horsemen, the opportunity to revive the franchise in a new setup. Luckily, we managed to secure Gunfire Games for development. Gunfire is comprised of a lot of the key talents from the Vigil roster. These brilliant minds were the anchor of the Darksiders and Darksiders II development teams.
After more than two years, we are here to give you Darksiders III. A lot of passion went into this game and we hope to create a lot of good emotions with it. As Darksiders III is quite a difficult game, this guide can be truly seen as a survival guide but also gives you a look behind the scenes.
Whip on!
