The Darksiders franchise is getting a spin-off. Darksiders Genesis will take the Zelda inspired franchise into the realm of top down, loot driven RPGs. No official details have been given beyond a short teaser trailer, but Darksiders Genesis has been confirmed for a Switch release.

The trailer opens with the fourth horseman Strife, likely as a tease to Darksiders 4. After a brief pre-rendered segment, a few quick shots of gameplay are shown. It appears to be a multiplayer dungeon crawler in the same style as Diablo. Darksiders has previously released on Switch in the form of Darksiders Warmastered Edition, and rumors of a Darksiders 2 port have been growing more prevalent recently. According to IGN who broke the story, Darksiders Genesis will be playable at E3 next week.

What?  Darksiders 16-bit demake coming out exclusive to the Genesis Mini?  That sounds awesome. Count me in.

Now that would get me to buy one.

So we have Darksiders 1 on Switch and 2 and Genesis are coming. Wondering if they will eventually get 3 over as well.

I would be all over this if I didn't already have Diablo 3, but who knows, maybe it will differentiate itself somehow.

but who knows, maybe it will differentiate itself somehow.

I’ve only completed the first one, and if that’s any indication, the only differences are over-designed, try-hard characters and an equally try-hard story.

The gameplay was fine; everything surrounding it was distracting to the point where it was difficult to take seriously. I’ve never really played the Diablo series so I don’t know how that compares. Blizzard makes some pretty cutscenes though.
