After the premature launching of the official Nintendo Switch trailer for Darksiders Warmastered Edition yesterday, THQ Nordic has finally officially confirmed the existence of the game. Better yet, we even have an official release date. Mark your calendar friends because the apocalypse goes portable on April 2 and will be available both physically and digitally for a price of $29.99!
“Deceived by the forces of evil into prematurely bringing about the end of the world, War – the first Horseman of the Apocalypse – stands accused of breaking the sacred law by inciting a war between Heaven and Hell. In the slaughter that ensued, the demonic forces defeated the heavenly hosts and laid claim to the Earth.
Apocalyptic Power – Unleash the wrath of War, combining brutal attacks and supernatural abilities to decimate all who stand in your way
Extreme Arsenal – Wield a devastating arsenal of angelic, demonic and Earthly weapons; and blaze a trail of destruction atop Ruin, War’s fiery phantom steed
Epic Quest – Battle across the wastelands and demon-infested dungeons of the decimated Earth in your quest for vengeance and redemption
Character Progression – Uncover powerful ancient relics, upgrade your weapons, unlock new abilities, and customize your gameplay style
Battle Heaven And Hell – Battle against all who stand in your way – from war-weary angelic forces to Hell’s hideous demon hordes”
If you have yet to experience the Darksiders franchise, this release might just be a perfect time to hop into one of the best adventure games from last gen. Hopefully Darksiders 2 and 3 might also make the jump to Nintendo’s hybrid console at some point down the line.
