Whoops! The furious cat got out of the bag a little too early.
After the success of Darksiders and Darksiders II, as well as the remasters for the modern gaming generation, fans really, really, REALLY wanted a sequel to the intriguing action adventure series. THQNordic, who picked up the license a few years back, seem to be listening, at least according to a leaked listing.
Details for the unannounced game popped up on Amazon this morning. The third edition of the series stars Fury, and will arrive for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. There’s currently a placeholder “December 31” date sitting and waiting until firm details are announced (or the info is taken down).
From Amazon:
Return to an apocalyptic Earth in Darksiders III, a hack-n-slash Action Adventure where players assume the role of FURY in her quest to hunt down and dispose of the Seven Deadly Sins. The most unpredictable and enigmatic of the Four Horsemen, FURY must succeed where many have failed – to bring balance to the forces that now ravage Earth. Darksiders III is the long-anticipated, third chapter in the critically-acclaimed Darksiders franchise.
