THQ Nordic and Airship Syndicate announced the release of the highly anticipated Darksiders Genesis on Windows PC and Google Stadia. Featuring the long-awaited debut of the fourth and final horseman – STRIFE, plus two-player co-op mode, Darksiders Genesis is the first Darksiders action adventure played from the top-down perspective and is available worldwide.
Critical acclaim for Darksiders Genesis:
“There’s a really strong balance of great combat, clever puzzles, rich exploration, and excellent progression mechanics…” 87/100 – IGN
“From the gorgeous visuals to the smooth, frenetic combat and environments that beg to be explored, the quality on display here is incredibly impressive.” 90/100 – God is a Geek
“..great protagonists and brisk game flow.” 82/100 – Gamestar.de
In Darksiders Genesis, STRIFE can battle alongside his brother and fellow horseman WAR in the first ever Darksiders two-player co-op mode. Solo players will be able to alternate between STRIFE and WAR on the fly, taking advantage of STRIFE’s ranged and WAR’s melee style attacks. In addition, gameplay includes combat atop both horsemen’s fabled steeds: RAMPAGE and MAYHEM. Darksiders Genesis also features the introduction of Creature Cores, a combat system that empowers players to customize their own upgrade system fueled by the enemies they defeat. #togetherthroughhell #GunsNHorses #notalone
Darksiders Genesis is scheduled for release on PlayStation®4, the Xbox® One and on Nintendo Switch™ on February 14, 2020.
