THQ Nordic has wrapped up its latest Digital Showcase with a teaser for the next Darksiders. The short video takes place in a fiery cave with magma everywhere. Suddenly, three stone entities light up and proclaim, “Horseman!” before we fade to black and the words, “Be prepared to ride again…” appear on-screen.
The entities in question are the Charred Council, who have appeared throughout the Darksiders franchise. They’re a powerful entity that maintains the balance between Heaven and Hell during their never-ending battle. The “horseman” refers to the playable characters of the series, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, namely War, Strife, Fury, and Death.
Whether all four return or the title centres on one (potentially even two, a la Darksiders Genesis) remains to be seen. A release date and platforms have also yet to be announced, but Gunfire Games is the developer. It worked on Darksiders 3 and the Remnant series but also created Darksiders 1 and 2 when it was still known as Vigil Games. Stay tuned for more details and updates in the coming days.
