THQ Nordic’s Darksiders III will debut in 2018

Some die-hard apocalypse fans are going to be happy about this. THQ Nordic is announcing today that it is developing Darksiders III with Gunfire Games with an eye on an unspecified 2018 release date.

Lars Wingefors, the CEO of Vienna, Austria-based THQ Nordic, said his company (formerly Nordic Games) acquired the rights to Darksiders when it bought the old THQ properties in bankruptcy proceedings in 2013. Last year, Nordic Games rebranded itself as THQ Nordic, and fans started asking if the company would bring back the Darksiders franchise of action games, which first appeared in 2010 (the second hit in 2012).
