The new game of the Darksiders franchise takes the gameplay in a new direction. It looks like Diablo 3 and has a co-op mode.
What is Darksiders Genesis? In the latest installment of the Darksiders franchise, you will be able to play the fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse, Strife. Armed with two pistols, he sets out to find the demon Lucifer and prevent his plan to destroy the balance between angels and demons.
Strife will be accompanied by his friend and brother War, whom Darksiders fans will already know from the first game of the franchise. Genesis takes place chronologically before the events of the first Darksiders game.
The game will be released for PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Google Stadia. You can watch the reveal trailer here:
What features will Darksiders Genesis have? Darksiders Genesis is a hack and slasher game that is played from an isometric perspective. In the trailer, it is evident that it has strong parallels to Diablo games or Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light.
With the help of wormholes, you will be able to travel back and forth between heaven and hell to hunt down criminal demons.
THQ Nordic has already confirmed that the game will also feature typical action RPG elements. This includes, for instance, collecting loot and a co-op mode.
The trailer also shows the typical Darksiders parkour and platforming elements. According to IGN, a focus of the game will also be on solving puzzles. It is possible that the co-op mode will play an important role at this point.
When will we get more information about Darksiders Genesis? Although it was only recently announced, Darksiders Genesis will already be playable at E3 2019. So we can expect the first reports soon.
An approximate release date is not yet known.
