Who owns darksiders now

Silas White is a freelance writer with a love for all things gaming. The first game he ever played was Super Mario 64, and he's been hooked ever since.

His favorite genres are RPGs and action games. He follows competitive Overwatch, Smash Bros, and Dragonball Fighterz When he's not playing videogames Silas enjoys cheering for the New York Yankees, watching anime, following the latest trends in technology, and listening to music. It later released on Wii U, but it didn't prove enough to save embattled publisher THQ from its inevitable downfall. Nordic isn't known for funding high-budget games. I'm not worried. If you have a great product and an idea, I'm normally good at finding a solution to it.

But most important for me is that we find the right set-up and people. There is no market for a Metacritic 60 game.

You need to be 80 plus or even better, 90, to make it commercially viable. Most important for me is that we find the right set-up and people. Given the ink on the contract has yet to dry, Darksiders fans shouldn't hold their breath on a new game in the series arriving any time soon.

But it's a safe bet it'll launch on PC, given Wingefors' fondness for that platform and Steam. There, "It's so much easier to make a commercially viable product," he said.

Darksiders is a franchise I'm naturally very passionate about. Over a period of several years, I and my close friends and colleagues at the former Vigil Games invested a lot of energy into the series and we're glad to know Darksiders continues to excite and generate a high level of interest among players, publishers and developers.

That's not much to go on, but Crytek USA staff who worked on the series have already spoken out about what they'd like to see from the sequel. Four player co-op or bust! Ben Cureton, ex-Vigil Games lead combat designer and also now at Crytek, wrote: "If you actually ever go forward with the Darksiders franchise, be sure to focus on the things that made DS and DS2 cool.

Things like If you are ever in doubt of what to do We'd be more than happy to take the IP off your hands. In fact, you can even have all of the money that DS1 and DS2 continue to generate!

And do what we would've done: let people know what happens when those other three comets land on Earth! The first-person and third-person shooter series was created by Volition, now owned by Deep Silver and hard at work on Saints Row 4. The last game in the series, 's Red Faction: Armageddon, was a commercial flop. But that hasn't put Wingefors off the idea of investing in another game.

We realise that. That is included in the price tag for it. It's a good concept. You just need to make it good. It's a top-notch independent European developer, which has the resources. Unfortunately, THQ would file for bankruptcy at the end of , dooming Vigil Games in the process. Vigil Games was dissolved in January , and all the plans for the franchise were turned upside down. When THQ was dissolved, its many development studios and franchises were sold up to different buyers.

While the remaster was not exactly what fans wanted, it was still a piece of good news, as Gunfire Games was formed in by Adams, who was involved in the Darksiders franchise from the very beginning. The excellent reception of the remaster also convinced Nordic to hire Gunfire Games to develop the next chapter of the franchise. While not as critically successful as the previous titles, Darksiders III was still a solid entry to the franchise, and able to make its budget back.

The Darksiders lore revolves around the Apocalypse, the ultimate battle in a millenary war between Heaven, Hell, and Humanity. The Apocalypse is supposed to happen only when the Third Kingdom, Humanity, evolves enough to defend itself. However, forces on Heaven, Hell, and the supposedly-balance-enforcing Charred Council plot against Humanity and release the Apocalypse sooner than expected, killing almost every human in the process.

Death sacrifices his own life to bring Humanity back and reverse the Apocalypse's most vicious effect. But what about Strife? Clues to the fourth Horseman whereabouts are scattered all over the three titles. According to the Charred Council, Strife is dealing with some unknown official business, which is why Fury must go by herself after the Seven Deadly Sins. But what is this official mission?

Is there even any mission from the Charred Council, or did the entity just wanted to deceive Fury?
