First Hint Towards New Darksiders Game Revealed

Yes, folks, yes! Darksiders is finally getting a new addition to the franchise. The game's art director was kind enough to 'leak' some official game art, which you can see in the picture above. Now, of course, this artwork wasn't accompanied by any announcement, nor was it called official, but we'll take the '2021 Darksiders' tag, and the fact that it came from the official Darksiders art director as all the confirmation we need.

When Will Darksiders 4 Be Released?

That's the question on everybody's mind, of course. When will the damn thing be released? In fact, will the next Darksiders game even be Darksiders 4, or will we get another spin-off akin to Genesis? We don't know the answer to either: Other than the artwork, literally nothing is known about the next Darksiders game. What we can do, is speculate – and that's always the most fun thing to do anyway:

Darksiders 1 was more of a hack & slash game, while Darksiders 2 firmly followed in Zelda's footsteps and delivered more of an open-world experience. Then, Darksiders 3 came and followed a modern classic: Dark Souls. Then, we went from the rather difficult Souls-like experience to something entirely different with Darksiders Genesis: An isometric Action-RPG in the vein of Diablo. Thus, it's fair to ask and wonder: What will the next Darksiders be like? Considering that we're expecting Strife as the game's protagonist, we're willing to go out on a limb, and predict that the game will be a shooter. More daring than this even, we're willing to predict that it will be a Metroidvania-like shooter. Of course, that's just us speculating, and we don't have any way to confirm it. Either way, simply knowing that the Darksiders franchise continues is hype enough and should make every gamer happy.

Oh, and in case you didn't know: We also have a YouTube channel, where we bring the gaming news to you daily. In this one, we talk about the Darksiders reveal, amongst other things:
