Don’t mistake that headline for DarkStalkers – we know Evo is taking place, but 2025 isn’t that based.
Darksiders 4 ain’t a bad alternative, though – especially as this game will pick up where the original left off.
We enjoyed all of the games in the series, but we must admit the PS3 original was our favourite, as it offered a legitimate alternative to Zelda. You don’t see that often.
With Nintendo’s elfish icon now in a different era, we’re actually oddly nostalgic from that classic style of Zelda gameplay, with dungeons and exploration.
Can Darksiders 4 plug the gap? Well, here’s what the blurb says:
“The legendary saga of the Four Horsemen continues in Darksiders 4, an all-new action-adventure set in an apocalyptic version of earth and continues where the original Darksiders game left off. Darksiders 4 is a third-person action adventure game featuring combat, traversal, and puzzle solving in a lore rich post-apocalyptic world.”
That sounds like Zelda to us!
Interestingly, you’ll pick between one of the four legendary horsemen, and each will have their own arsenal and playstyle.
There’s not much more information to pull from, but dev Gunfire Games adds you’ll “journey through apocalyptic landscapes, each teeming with secrets, enemies, and mythic bosses”.
No release date has been announced, but expect wishlisting to begin on the PS Store imminently. We’re in!
