All Articles: Darksiders III

Comic book scribe Joe “Joe Mad” Madureira was the founder of Vigil Games and the creator of Darksiders. After THQ’s demise, Vigil reformed as Crytek USA and the rights to the Darksiders series were obtained by Nordic Games, but after the sale, no one was quite sure what would happen to the well-liked franchise as it seemed too big for a publisher like Nordic to handle. In a post on Facebook, Joe Mad says not to worry:

[Darksiders] is not dead!!! The new owner, Nordic seems very committed to continuing the series. As far as my involvement, I can’t say at this point. Hopefully we will all have exciting news about the franchise soon!!!!!!

While this isn’t confirmation of Darksiders III, it is proof that Nordic Games has no interest in letting the franchise languish. Hopefully we’ll learn more about the Four Horsemen’s continued fight to stop an accidental apocalypse soon.

And as a show of just how committed they are, Nordic even plans to release a Darksiders Collection for the PS3 and Xbox 360 next week.
