Hey, how much do you like Darksiders? Enough to spend $399.99 on a special edition, mayhaps? You’ll get the chance from 27th November, as THQ Nordic has confirmed threequel Darksiders III’s rumoured release date as part of an IGN First story. Just a little more chaos to add to the Christmas apocalypse won’t hurt, will it?
There will be three versions of the game available. The standard edition will set you back $59.99, while the Collector’s Edition comes with an 11-inch Fury figurine, a premium box, a steelbook, an artbook, soundtrack, and some exclusive cosmetic in-game threads. That’ll cost you a cool $149.99 if you want all of that.
Alternatively, you can stump up for the aforementioned $399.99 Apocalypse Edition, which includes all of the above as well as a 30”x 40” wall scroll, a two-inch heavyweight amulet with necklace, and four figurines: Fury, War, Death, and Vulgrim. More information is set to be revealed over the coming days, so stay tuned.

"Enough to spend $399.99 on a special edition, mayhaps?"
AHAHAHAHAHA
AHAHAHAHA
AHAHA
The day I spend this kind of money on one edition of a single game is the day you can commit me to the madhouse. I work too hard for my money, thank you.
$400 for a game??? and some collectable statues of course but still - that's more than a console required to play it on. I do like my collectable editions of games but usually just settle on those with Steelbooks, artbooks and any 'bonus' digital in-game items rather than dust collectors. Saying that, the Aloy statue looked great but settled for the Limited edition instead.
As for the game, it looks 'OK' but not yet seen enough that would even tempt me to look at the 'steel book' version. I have the collectible/Limited/special/gold versions of Spider-Man, Tomb Raider, RDR2 and AC: Odyssey pre-ordered so I will be busy with those and trying to let my Bank Balance recover for Feb 22nd...
Hahahaha call me old fashion but i'll stick with the 59.99 thanks.
Pfftt that's nothing.
The Darksiders Warmastered collectors edition (that's the remaster) cost £66600.

One standard please.
This game has a lot to live up to... the first one was great and the second was a very good change in pace even if the story left a lot to be desired...
This one just looks Meh so far
Looks like that Darksiders 2 didn’t sell well, right? That’s a shame, it’s a great series.
That's a spicey meatball!!!
Even my favourite ever series would be unable to lure me into dropping 4oo quid, even if it was a gold plated statue of Joel and Ellie I would balk at the prospect.
I think the game itself has real promise though, I really enjoyed the other two titles in the series.
@fchinaski EA lets you pay €200 oh yeah you dont get the game. 😁
Apocalypse Edition? Apocalypse for Your Wallet Edition more like!
Looks like THQ Nordic are trying to scrap the money back from buying the franchise, bet it's buggy as hell
I'll wait for the Black Friday 2019 $10 edition.

Statues are quite big and do look quite good but I still have no intention of buying...
Feck it, I'll buy two
If I didant know this game will probably end up as a free ps plus game at some point then yeah...id pay that much.
I rather buy another ps4 pro console lol
LMAO, for $100 more you can get a high-powered console and as @BAMozzy stated it's more than the price of one of the base-line systems required to play the game. Definitely out of my price range. I'll go with a standard edition.
Yeah, that edition will be cheap in 6 months after release.
I didn't think the games were that good to warrant a 500$ collectors junk
With that kind of money I could probably buy like hundreds of games in the PSN deals and they still need to prove that they can make a good Darksiders game and not ruin the franchise
@rjejr Same here, but I imagine it'll be closer to $20-$25 New by Black Friday 2019 .
Since the game is releasing so close to Black Friday this year, I doubt it'll be discounted much.
@KingdomHeartsFan You don't need many fans. Just some that are super into it. I assume it will be very limited anyway. I still think it's pretty dumb, but hey. Who knows.
Pre-Ordered!........yeah right lol!
I will stick with the original darksiders 3 games.cant wait.l❤ve darksiders series.word up son
Loving this "Where's Wally" game that Sammy is making us do lol
another trend that can go away.
ac odyssey also has way to many editions.
just why is that a need these days?
especially those editions that allow you to play a couple days early (crew 2,ac odyssey) c'mon now.
pre order bonus and season pass is already enough "extra content".
@jdv95 why does it need to go away? This is something we as gamers have a choice in to purchase or not. I for one am super interested. It's nice to have options. Clearly there is a market for it, or they wouldn't bother....
Holy crap that's crazy
I'm excited for this, but I'm not that excited.
are the games even any good? just looked them up and tbh the art style makes my eyes bleed (coming from a sucker for anything creative)
That’s way too much. Darksiders isn’t even that good. I mean it’s good, but not $400 good. You need a game that gets above 90% on gamerankings or something for this. Gosh dang. How many are they expecting to sell, one?
@RoyalGuard Because the special editions inevitably lock out content to the base version.
If you go to the pictures and get the luxury seats with the best view, spend £15 on popcorn, pick n mix and drinks you still watch the same film as someone in the cheaper seats who has brought in tesco own brand crisps and a can of rola cola. The movie doesnt change.
With games rated in editions at release, if you spend more than the already lofty entrance price you get a different experience in the game. I dont disagree with special editions which grant statues and talismans for anyone who wants them - I dont like the idea that the base game is not the full game experience.
Death's statue pose isn't dynamic enough.:/
@ToddlerNaruto A year after release some store will have this on sale for $10. Might be one of those "Early bird" 4 hour sales, but it will be $10 somewhere. And if not new, Gamefly and Redbox used is good enough for me. I got Knack 2 used for $10 for Christmas last year from Redbox. Might even be $10 on a PSN sale. I just bought Ni No Kuni 2 new 3 months after release for $35 from Newegg. And that was the full price, not using any credit or anything like that.
With all the other games coming out this holiday and possibly next year D3 is going to fall by the wayside fast.
@rjejr I was referring to new prices, I could see this game going for $10 used by BF 2019 sure.
We won't be seeing this game at $10 New until BF 2020 maybe.
We haven't even seen much of the game...
I can only say that those pre-order now are extreme die-hard fans...
@KingdomHeartsFan Dude i was about to buy that but fortunately my wallet is saved due to it nit being a avaliable in nz
@BAMozzy i just had to check it wasnt april the bloody 1st. anyone that buys this really needs head checked. ill wait 18 months and get complete edition on sale $15
@adf86 Ha, ha! I didn’t even catch that! Good eye.
I'm sure there is a series I would spend 400 dollars on (...okami comes to mind) but not this one. Is the series popular enough that statues will be worth that much?
Beat both 1 and 2. Not a fan to be honest and I doubt I will give the series another chance. I try to be open-minded and I am, but it is a road paved with disappointments unfortunately.
@Ryu_Niiyama
I spent about 400 on the Shiranui First 4 Figures statue...
@Radbot42 ? I was commenting on if Darksiders was popular enough for this to sale, not if someone would spend 400 dollars. I have the Amaterasu bust and the Midna statues pre-ordered so I understand spending the cash in general...just not for this series.
