LEAK: Darksiders Genesis coming to PS4, Xbox One,Nintendo Switch, PC/Steam, and. . . Google Stadia.

Darksiders Genesis has shown up earlier than anticipated, it seems.

Well, Darksiders fans are certainly reaping the rewards for having to wait so long to buy and play Darksiders III.

Today, Darksiders fans rejoiced as Darksiders Genesis was announced, or rather leaked in this case, via an announcement video.

The game is coming to all consoles, the pc, the Steam service, and. . . the Google Stadia platform… (ugh. . .)

Darksiders Genesis is a prequel to the main trilogy, specifically set before the events of Darksiders  and Darksiders II.

The box art for the Switch version is displayed below:

 

Based on the reveal trailer, the game is shifting from a Zelda-inspired puzzle-solving hack-n-Slash game to a Top-down Action-puzzle RPG inspired somewhat by the Diablo series by Blizzard Entertainment. I am rather excited for this game. This time around, instead of playing as Death, Fury, or War, the game centers on War and Strife as they are “called upon” to try to stop Lucifer from forever disrupting the Balance between Heaven, Hell, and Humanity.

From the Amazon page,  the basic plot is described as follows: “From the dawn of creation, THE COUNCIL has maintained the Balance across existence. Carrying out their orders are THE HORSEMEN, Nephilim (powerful beings spawned from the unnatural union of angels and demons) who have pledged themselves to the Council and been granted immense power. However, this power came at a tragic cost: the Horsemen were ordered to use their newfound strength to wipe out the rest of their kind. What followed was a bloody battle on Eden where the Horsemen, obeying the will of the Council, annihilated the Nephilim. Still reeling from the events on Eden, WAR and STRIFE have been given a new assignment — LUCIFER, the enigmatic and deceptive demon king, has been plotting to upset the Balance by granting power to master demons throughout Hell. War and Strife must hunt down these masters, gather information, and ultimately fight their way through a tangled, demonic conspiracy that threatens to forever upset the Balance and unravel all of creation. DARKSIDERS: GENESIS is an action/adventure that tears its way through hordes of demons, angels, and everything in-between on its way to Hell and back with guns blazing and swords swinging. Genesis gives players their first look at the world of DARKSIDERS before the events of the original game, as well as introduces the horseman Strife.”

In this image below, you can see what the gameplay is gonna be like. Notably, though, in the cinematic trailer, Strife was shown being followed by an army of demons. You’ll be earning loot and collectables and whatnot by defeating enemies and bosses,similar to Diablo. The environments are varied as well, as indicated by this image showing combat in a snowy mountain-esque area.

The game is confirmed to be currently in development  by Airship Syndicate, the studio behind Battle Chasers: Nightwar. (An alright game, personally)

More details about this game will come at E3 2019 in a few days, so stay tuned to Gamelust for any potential updates, such as a known release date, pricing, etc.

Before I go, here’s a picture of the title/logo:

That definitely looks like a cool and stylish logo, doesn’t it?  Anyways, more info will be shown at E3 this year.
