Release the Fury! Darksiders III Officially Announced
Following the collapse of THQ, it seemed we’d seen the last of many of the franchises belonging to the beloved publisher. So we should count our blessings that Austrian company Nordic Games resurrected THQ under the new branding of THQ Nordic, why is we’re now getting Darksiders III on PS4, Xbox One and Steam.
IGN debuted the announcement trailer for the third instalment in the epic dark fantasy RPG franchise, which will feature Fury, the sister of the Four Horsemen, as the main protagonist. Once again, the gameplay will combine both open-world exploration with puzzle solving and brutal hack and slash combat.
According to its Amazon.com listing, Darksiders III will be released on all three systems in December 2018 for $59.99. I expect we’ll be seeing a hell of a lot more of the game at E3 next month.
