'Darksiders 3' News & Update: Finally Revealed; Fury As The New Anti-Hero
After years of waiting and tons of rumors and fan theories, game maker Gunfire Games together with THQ Nordic has finally chosen the next rider of the Dark Horse. News spread like wildfire that the post-apocalyptic hack and slash sequel - "Darksiders 3" has been announced and there's a teaser trailer to prove it.
Gaming website IGN first revealed the good news to the "Darksiders" fandom as the sizzler reel of the game sequel unveiled its next protagonist - Fury. The only female among the Four Horsemen, Fury will definitely deliver in the upcoming title as her younger kin, War seems to have failed to do the task at hand.
The publication also stated that "Darksiders 3" will take place during the second game's timeline. If the recently released teaser were to be based, it looks like the female anti-hero will be pitted against the personifications of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Amazon, as cited by Polygon, has posted a brief description of "Darksiders 3." Per the listing, Fury is depicted as an "unpredictable and enigmatic" protagonist as she is commissioned to restore order to the beings that have been plaguing the surface of the planet. As aforementioned, Fury is expected to carry on the task that War has abandoned as it was featured in the clip.
Additional details about the game include an open-ended free-form world where Fury can fully utilize her mystic skills as it was hinted that the character can take on various forms that enable her to obtain more powerful items and skill sets. Just like the teaser suggests, the protagonist will wield a nifty retractable whip that is likely to be infused with magic.
The game will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, though no definite date has been announced yet for "Darksiders 3." However, the video revealed that it will be out in 2018. Check out the teaser trailer of the game here:
