The Darksiders franchise has always had a uniquely intriguing premise, one that captivated fans since its debut entry and three subsequent titles, all of which served as prequels. For fans who have long awaited a proper continuation from the series’ original cliffhanger, a glimmer of hope may finally be on the horizon with Darksiders 4.
While THQ Nordic has yet to make any official announcements, strong indications suggest that a major reveal related to the Darksiders series is set to take place during the publisher’s upcoming digital showcase in early August 2025. This speculation is backed by recent activity in the official Darksiders Discord server, where THQ Nordic not only promoted the upcoming showcase but also teased fans with a cryptic message hinting that something “titan-sized” is on its way.
Although it remains possible that the announcement could turn out to be a remake of one of the earlier Darksiders titles, a statement made by a veteran THQ Nordic representative last year adds weight to the theory that a true sequel is finally in development.
Could Darksiders 4 Really be Coming?
The statement referenced the company’s long-standing ambition to move the narrative forward now that all four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have been introduced: War, Death, Fury, and Strife.
The last official entry in the franchise, Darksiders Genesis, was released in 2019 and showcased Strife, the final Horseman, in a top-down action RPG format. The game was generally well-received and served as a prequel that further enriched the universe, though it still left fans yearning for the next major chapter.
With THQ Nordic’s actions pointing toward a significant announcement, and the franchise now poised with all key characters in place, expectations are high that Darksiders 4 could finally be revealed—potentially offering a long-awaited narrative continuation and reuniting fans with the apocalyptic world that began over a decade ago.
