Darksiders 4 is coming from developer Gunfire Games. We have a teaser trailer, below, revealed as part of publisher THQ Nordic's 2025 showcase event, as well as some high level gameplay details.
Darksiders 4, like the previous entries in the series, is a third-person action adventure game featuring combat, traversal, and puzzle solving in a “lore rich” post-apocalyptic world.
You play as one of the legendary Horsemen, each with their own unique weapons and combat styles. The “cinematic” combat is described as “fast-paced, visceral action blending melee, fluid traversal, and supernatural abilities.”
The only story detail we have is that Darksiders 4 continues the saga of the Four Horsemen and picks up where the original Darksiders game left off. According to store listings, there's online co-op for 2-4 players as well as single-player and split screen.
Darksiders began life in 2010 with the Vigil Games-developed original. It revolves around the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, who attempt to bring balance to the universe while fighting on a post-apocalyptic Earth.
A sequel, Darksiders 2, followed in 2012, but it wasn’t until 2018 that Darksiders 3, from Gunfire Games, came out, with Airship Syndicate’s top-down action game Darksiders Genesis following in 2019. The series had remained dormant since then, with Gunfire releasing the successful Remnant: From the Ashes and Remnant 2 games either side of Chronos: Before the Ashes.
There’s no release window for Darksiders 4 yet, but THQ Nordic did open wishlists today.
