Well, we're finally getting Darksiders 3, and this one will star Fury, the female Horseman.

The first two games were fantastic in their own right.  I look forward to this, but hope the story advances a little more than it has.

I loved the first two games. One of my favorite things about the games, it's how different each Horseman felt. I cannot wait to dig into this one. I'll have to replay the games again in anticipation for this one.

Hope there is a switch release.

Love Joe Mad. Enjoyed the first game, although I don't think I quite finished it. Didn't get around to trying the sequel, but it's nice to see the franchise surviving.

[skankerzero]

*spoiler* This is made by ex-Vigil employees. Joe Mad isn't involved.

That trailer, while looking great, does seem to imply that we're to begin the game pre-Darksiders 1s main story. Again

What with Fury going to see a chained War. So at least in part another side story.

I am interested though, since i really hope Dariders survives long enough to show us the Horseman in full battle. As is promised by the ending of the first Darksiders.

I've been meaning to play this series, but I kind of bounced off the first game.

People like saying it's the best Zelda game they ever played, but, at least up until the point I stopped, it was lacking some of the things that make me love Zelda games.

 

The problem I have with it I have a lot of games that want to do some sort of modern fantasy thing(Like the DMC series, sometimes). They take place in these urban environments that are either dead or empty,

and this ends up filling me with a sense of loneliness that I am very much not a fan of.

 

Despite that I do own the previous games, and have reinstalled them(I got the fancy new versions for free I guess?) with the plan to try and play them again at some point.

This time with a podcast or tv show at the ready.

 

As for this new game.

It looks promising, but I'm kind of tired of using the 7 deadly sins as the basis for an enemy group.

Hopefully they don't just go the super obvious route with them(sexy lady for lust, gross fat guy for gluttony, etc).

Looking forward to this. Darksiders 2 dissapointed in a lot of ways but it was still a fun enough game.

[HomelessOne]

I believe at one point Joe Mad said the intent was to make a game for each Horseman and then one with all of them. So actually progressing past 1's ending might still be a ways off if that holds true.

Since War is still in chains, it appears to be another sidequel (like Darksiders 2). 

[TriBlurr]

Yeah. I imagine all the games are leading up to the ending of the first one before we move forward with that story.

[Pale Rider]

I hope Strife gets a solo adventure in Darksiders 4 and Darksiders 5 begins where the end of the Darksiders 1 leaves off.

[Lancer]

So Death, War, Fury and Strife? There's no Plague?

[mx-01 archon]

Nope, no Pestilence.  I think the reasoning was that the more well known/popular Horsemen, Pestilence and Famine didn't really incite exciting gameplay options.  Slowly starving/withering your opponents just wasn't very engaging a prospect.  So they went with alternates instead.

 

As far as I understand it, Biblically, the only canonical Horseman is Death/The Pale Rider.  The other three have been filled in over the course of literature by various other sources, and War, Famine, and Pestilence are only the most "popular", and even among those themes there are slight variations as well.  War is occasionally Conquest, for instance.

I'm not sure, thus my asking, but weren't the horsemen inspired by the wild hunt?

[Eneon]

I've been making my way through Darksiders 1. The next thing I have to do is go to Sam with the last heart.

 

I have a question. Do you ever get a "compass" for the overworld?

I'm pretty good at remembering anything that sticks out to me for later, but it still seems like it'd be easy for me to pass over something.

Fury's Legendary Enchantment provides, among other things, the full overworld item radar.

 

Finally got around to playing the first game not too long ago, actually, as part of an effort to reduce my Steam backlog.  My playthrough of 2 has been sidelined somewhat by Overwatch, Diablo, and Heroes of the Storm seasonal events, though, but I was a couple of dungeons into that.

[Eneon]

Yeah, I have more recent games, and an mmo, that I would like to work through at some point, but Darksiders just felt right.

It has also been a part of my own Steam backlog for quite some time.

[Tm_Silverclaw]

I got the PC versions of Darksiders Complete edition for 2.00 at my walmart.

 

Imagine my pleased surprise when I installed it and got the Warmastered and Deathinitive versions as well.
