The Four Horsemen are returning.

That’s according to a new teaser from Embracer-owned gaming publisher THQ Nordic. During THQ Nordic’s 2024 gaming showcase on Friday, the stream showed a teaser for a new Darksiders game. You can take a look at the teaser below:

“It won’t be long until we reveal more about where the Darksiders series is going next, but for now, know this… the Four Horsemen will ride again,” writes Tom Moore, marketing manager at THQ Nordic, viaXbox Wire.

Given the nature of this teaser, we don’t have direct confirmation of what this game is. If the developer is Gunfire Games, it’s likely Darksiders 4. THQ Nordic also oversaw a spinoff game, Darksiders Genesis, but that was developed by the team at Airship Syndicate.

The original Darksiders and Darksiders 2, starring War and Death respectively, were action-adventure games in the style of older Zelda titles. Both games were developed by Vigil Games under the original THQ. After THQ’s collapse, the intellectual property was picked up by THQ Nordic, which acquired Gunfire Games in 2019. Gunfire Games was founded by former staff from Vigil Games, and the team continued work on the Darksiders series with Darksiders 3 starring Fury in 2018.

Meanwhile, THQ Nordic also allowed Airship Syndicate to work on Darksiders Genesis, an isometric spinoff starring Strife.

While the original game teased a massive confrontation involving all four Horsemen, each subsequent game has so far been a parallel sequel or prequel, telling a story with a new character but without actually moving the plot forward. It’ll be interesting to see if this new Darksiders game unleashes War, Death, Fury, and Strife together at last.
