While the THQ Nordic Digital Showcase 2026 in August left little news on Darksiders 4, the release of the highly anticipated action-adventure game from THQ Nordic and Texas-based studio Gunfire Games is just around the corner.
Darksiders 4 is being developed for PC (Steam), PS5, Xbox Series X and S. It promises a rich world, a fast-paced combat system (combining melee combat, movement, and supernatural abilities), and puzzles.
Darksiders 4 will retain the series’ signature third-person action-adventure formula. Players can expect large-scale battles, exploration of a post-apocalyptic world, puzzles, and encounters with mythical foes. For the first time, the developers will offer the choice of one of the Horsemen, each with their own weapons, abilities, and fighting style.
The key intrigue remains the cast. The developers haven’t yet revealed the main character, but the tagline “And the Horsemen shall always be four” may hint at the return of all four. If so, Darksiders 4 could be the first game in the series to unite all the Horsemen in a single adventure.
The developers also promise cinematic battles combining melee attacks, acrobatics, and supernatural abilities. Exploration and puzzle solving will remain an important part of the gameplay.
