Darksiders 4 will finally let you play as all four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

After years of waiting and speculation, the apocalypse is officially back on. During its 2025 showcase event, THQ Nordic closed its show with the announcement fans have been waiting for: Darksiders 4 is in development. The sequel is being helmed by Gunfire Games (Remnant series), and the headline feature is the one the community has been requesting for over a decade – 4-player co-op.

The brief teaser trailer and accompanying story details confirm that Darksiders 4 will finally deliver on the promise made at the very end of the first game, picking up the story to continue the journey of the now-united Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse as they fight to restore balance on a post-apocalyptic Earth.

The game is described as a third-person action-adventure, retaining the series' signature blend of fast-paced combat, environmental puzzles, and fluid traversal. According to the first store listings, the entire experience will be playable in single-player, 2-4 player online co-op, and even local split-screen co-op. As such, we assume that all Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will be playable: War, Death, Fury, and Strife.

THQ Nordic has not yet announced a release date for the game, but wishlists for Darksiders 4 are now live on PC and console storefronts.
