Following the successful launch of Darksiders: Warmastered Edition on consoles and PC a couple of years ago, It seems that THQ Nordic will be re-releasing the game once again to the Nintendo Switch.
The news of Darksiders: Warmastered Editoin coming to Nintendo Switch comes via a trailer uploaded to THQ Nordic media server. While it pretty much confirms that it’s coming soon, there is currently no definite release date as a press release has yet to go out.
In case you missed it, the remastered version of the first Darksiders game was first launched for PS4, Xbox One, and PC in November of 2016, following by Wii U in May 2017. Hoping that this game will sell well on the Switch, there’s a chance we might see Darksiders II and III coming to the Switch as well in the near future.
Here’s an overview of the game, via a Steam page listing:
About
Deceived by the forces of evil into prematurely bringing about the end of the world, War – the first Horseman of the Apocalypse – stands accused of breaking the sacred law by inciting a war between Heaven and Hell. In the slaughter that ensued, the demonic forces defeated the heavenly hosts and laid claim to the Earth.
Brought before the sacred Charred Council, War is indicted for his crimes and stripped of his powers. Dishonored and facing his own death, War is given the opportunity to return to Earth to search for the truth and punish those responsible.
Hunted by a vengeful group of Angels, War must take on the forces of Hell, forge uneasy alliances with the very demons he hunts, and journey across the ravaged remains of the Earth on his quest for vengeance and vindication.
Key Features
- Apocalyptic Power – Unleash the wrath of War, combining brutal attacks and supernatural abilities to decimate all who stand in your way.
- Extreme Arsenal – Wield a devastating arsenal of angelic, demonic and Earthly weapons; and blaze a trail of destruction atop Ruin, War’s fiery phantom steed.
- Epic Quest – Battle across the wastelands and demon-infested dungeons of the decimated Earth in your quest for vengeance and redemption.
- Character Progression – Uncover powerful ancient relics, upgrade your weapons, unlock new abilities, and customize your gameplay style.
