Whip it! Whip it real good! Here's your first look at Darksiders 3 in action, as Fury uses her trademark leather and magic to explore a world that has been left to ruin.

Players return to an apocalyptic planet Earth in Darksiders III, a hack-n-slash action-adventure where players take on the role of FURY in her quest to hunt down and dispose of the Seven Deadly Sins. The Charred Council calls upon FURY to battle from the heights of heaven down through the depths of hell in a quest to restore the balance between good and evil and prove that she is the fiercest of the FOUR HORSEMEN. FURY is a mage, her form evolving throughout gameplay and with it, her powers and weaponry.

In video game development, original ideas are often seen by other games, scooped up and implemented in a variety of ways. On and on the list goes, with examples in just about every genre that you can think of. There’s something to be said however, for a game which takes inspiration from its contemporary and actually improves on the formula. Here’s five such examples, of video games that ripped other games off beautifully.

THQ went bankrupt, its properties were sold off and the legacy of that company was buried. Until a new successor rose from its ashes that is. Having acquired numerous video game licenses, Nordic Entertainment rebranded itself as THQ Nordic back in 2016, building a new company that featured plenty of hits from the past and new titles with which to create a legacy of success. That legacy may have just come full circle, as THQ Nordic has closed a deal to acquire Koch Media.

I’d imagined that Darksiders 2 was the final hurrah for the series that ended with Death triumphant and the legacy of developer Vigil Games guaranteed as a brief but bright candle in the wind. Things changed in the years since then. THQ’s properties were gobbled up, THQ Nordic was formed and veterans from Vigil banded together to form Gunfire Games. A new studio that got to work on a sequel that fans were hungry for: Darksiders 3.

THQ Nordic and Gunfire Games have officially revealed Darksiders III, which will introduce players to Fury in 2018.

Darksiders 3 has leaked via a retailer listing, with the long awaited sequel being revived by THQ Nordic.

The April batch of Games with Gold have been leaked. And they include a bunch of angry Romans, and angsty teen in an undead nightmare and some truly biblical events.
