THQ Nordic has finally lifted the curtain on Darksiders 4, officially announcing the long-awaited title in 2025. The reveal has reignited excitement among fans who had been waiting since the release of Darksiders Genesis in 2019. That prequel earned strong praise from both critics and players, but years of silence led many to believe the saga of the Four Horsemen had come to a close.

Now, the franchise is back, continuing directly from the events of the first Darksiders. While the announcement confirmed the return of War, Death, Fury, and Strife, details remain limited. A short teaser trailer gives only a glimpse of the post-apocalyptic Earth setting and promises that the Horsemen will once again be central to the story.
Release Date and Preorders
As for the launch date, THQ Nordic has not provided a release window, leaving fans guessing how far development has progressed. Preorders are also not available yet, and pricing remains speculative. Past entries were released below the usual AAA cost, but the studio may opt for a standard $70 price tag this time around. For now, players can only wishlist the game on Steam for notifications.

Gameplay and Features
Gameplay will once again revolve around third-person action-RPG mechanics, with heavy emphasis on combat, exploration, and puzzle-solving. Each Horseman will offer distinct weapons, abilities, and playstyles, adding replay value across multiple runs. Importantly, THQ Nordic confirmed support for up to four-player co-op, allowing each player to control a different Horseman—a feature building on the cooperative experience of Genesis.
Platforms and Future Updates
Darksiders 4 is confirmed for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with no word yet on additional platforms like Nintendo Switch 2. Until a full gameplay showcase arrives, fans will have to wait patiently for more concrete details on the next chapter of this cult-favorite action series.
