Gunfire Games is developing Darksiders 4, unveiled with an exciting teaser trailer during THQ Nordic's 2025 showcase event alongside key gameplay insights.
Mirroring its predecessors, Darksiders 4 delivers a third-person action-adventure experience set in a richly detailed post-apocalyptic world, blending intense combat, environmental exploration, and strategic puzzle-solving.
Players embody one of the iconic Horsemen, each wielding distinct weapons and fighting styles. The game promises cinematic, fast-paced battles combining melee combat, supernatural abilities, and seamless movement mechanics.
While narrative details remain sparse, the story continues the Four Horsemen saga directly following events from the original Darksiders. Store listings confirm multiple modes including 2-4 player online co-op, single-player, and split-screen gameplay.
The franchise debuted in 2010 with Vigil Games' first installment, chronicling the Horsemen's quest to restore cosmic order on a ravaged Earth. Darksiders 2 followed in 2012, with Gunfire Games reviving the series in 2018's Darksiders 3 and Airship Syndicate's top-down prequel Darksiders Genesis in 2019.
After a hiatus during which Gunfire developed the acclaimed Remnant series and Chronos: Before the Ashes, Darksiders 4 marks the franchise's return. Though no release date is confirmed, THQ Nordic has opened official wishlisting.
