More On: Darksiders III

Out of all of the franchises that THQ Nordic has gobbled up and resurrected, Darksiders feels like the one that has perhaps received the most attention. After releasing the third game in the mainline franchise back in November of 2018, THQ Nordic also released Darksiders Genesis, a pretty cool top down hack and slasher.

Now Switch players can get in on the action, as THQ Nordic brings Darksiders III to Nintendo's hybrid system on September 30. Retailing for $39.99, this portable version of Darksiders III will contain all of the game's DLC, including Keepers of the Void and The Crucible.

Each of the games in the franchise focus on one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, with Darksiders III featuring Fury. From a recent provided statement:

"Players return to an apocalyptic planet Earth in Darksiders III, a hack-n-slash action-adventure where players take on the role of FURY in her quest to hunt down and dispose of the Seven Deadly Sins. The Charred Council calls upon FURY to battle from the heights of heaven down through the depths of hell in a quest to restore the balance between good and evil and prove that she is the fiercest of the FOUR HORSEMEN. FURY is a mage, her form evolving throughout gameplay and with it, her powers and weaponry. The expansive Darksiders III game world is presented as an open-ended, living, free-form planet Earth, dilapidated by war and decay, and overrun by nature. FURY will traverse back and forth between environments, battling other-worldly creatures and unlocking puzzles while advancing the Darksiders story."
