Darksiders is not dead! During a livestream earlier today, THQ Nordic confirmed that it’s actively developing a new entry in the well-liked action series. While it stopped short of sharing any specific details, it simply said: “Be prepared to ride again.”

Texas-based studio Gunfire Games is leading development on the project, following its work on Darksiders 3. The company was started by David Adams who also founded Vigil Games, which was the team that created the original Darksiders game.

We’re going to hypothesise based on the teaser trailer that this will stick more closely to the blueprint established by the original game, and we’re honestly hopeful it’ll be more like The Legend of Zelda, as the first title was a brilliant alternative to the classic franchise.

Considering the direction Nintendo has taken its series with Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, we actually reckon there’s space in the market for a more traditional Zelda game, with well-designed dungeons and tons of puzzles.

Presumably this is still a little way off, but it’s exciting to know the franchise isn’t dead, and will be making a comeback in the not-too distant future.
