Thus, it's fair to ask and wonder: What will the next Darksiders be like? Considering that we're expecting Strife as the game's protagonist, we're willing to go out on a limb, and predict that the game will be a shooter.
Then, we went from the rather difficult Souls-like experience to something entirely different with Darksiders Genesis: An isometric Action-RPG in the vein of Diablo. Then, Darksiders 3 came and followed a modern classic: Dark Souls. What we can do, is speculate – and that's always the most fun thing to do anyway:ĭarksiders 1 was more of a hack & slash game, while Darksiders 2 firmly followed in Zelda's footsteps and delivered more of an open-world experience. When will the damn thing be released? In fact, will the next Darksiders game even be Darksiders 4, or will we get another spin-off akin to Genesis? We don't know the answer to either: Other than the artwork, literally nothing is known about the next Darksiders game. Let’s hope sooner.That's the question on everybody's mind, of course. After Darksiders II, it becomes clear that multiple forces are plotting against Humanity, and future Darksiders games will have to deal with this plot sooner or later. However, the game is still important to make the franchise's stakes clearer. Unfortunately, Darksiders II didn't fulfill Darksiders' promise of grouping all Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in their quest for defending true balance and getting revenge against the Charred Council. She also tried to bring the Nephilim back to life, a mission she failed and for which she has to be punished. Lilith, who has been deeply involved with all major events of the franchise, created the Nephilim to wage war against Creation and transform the angelical leader of the Hellguard into the demon Destroyer. The scene shows Lilith asking for forgiveness from a figure hidden by shadows, referred to as “Prince” (it’s unclear if Prince is actually Lucifer). Death’s mission, then, becomes even more complicated.ĭarksiders II also has a post-credits scene that teases a bigger conspiracy, still unresolved by the franchise. By refusing to wipe out his kin from existence, Death helped create the Corruption. The Nephilim champion’s soul was never destroyed, so he is still waging war against Creation even after being slain by Death. However, Death finds out that the evil has a familiar source: Absalom’s rage feeds the Corruption. This Corruption stands in his way to the Tree of Life, so Death helps the Makers clean up the Corruption. In the Forge Lands, Death learns Corruption has been spreading through dimensions and consuming Creation. The fragments of the Nephilim amulet become encrusted in Death’s chest, and he is transported to the Forge Lands, where Makers used the Tree of Life to build Creation with their own hands.Įven if Death is closer to the Tree of Life than he has ever been, his journey is far from over. The Crowfather dies when Death defends himself, but by killing the Keeper of Secrets, he shatters the amulet. Once Death refuses to take the amulet back, the Crowfather attacks the Horseman. Unfortunately, the raging souls of the Nephilim still whisper threats against Creation, driving the Crowfather insane. It seems like a straightforward solution, but the Crowfather also demands Death take back the amulet with the souls of the Nephilim. There, he can resurrect Humanity, deeming War’s supposed crimes null. The Crowfather reveals to Death that if he wants to erase War’s sin, he must travel to the Tree of Life, the source of Creation. So, when War is imprisoned by the Charred Council and accused of wiping out Humanity, Death decides to ask the Crowfather for help once again. Death knew the souls of the Nephilim would be safe in the Icy Veil, a secret he kept even from his brothers and sister. Also known as the Keeper of Secrets, the Crowfaher lives in the Icy Veil, a dimension between the three kingdoms of Heaven, Hell, and Earth, far away from the Charred Council domain. Instead, Death decided to hide their souls inside an amulet he gave to the Crowfather to keep. Struck by grief, Death was not able to destroy the Nephilim souls.
