Evaluation

Darksiders Genesis launched on PC and Google Stadia on December 5, 2019, with console versions following on February 14, 2020. The game shipped as a complete, self-contained action-adventure title set in the Darksiders universe. Its only DLC is a Digital Extras pack (soundtrack, art book, etc.) that released alongside the base game on December 5, 2019 — no additional gameplay content was ever announced or listed as planned. Post-launch developer activity was limited to bug-fix and quality-of-life patches, with the final known update being Patch #4 on March 20, 2020. Since that date, Airship Syndicate and THQ Nordic have not published any further news posts, roadmaps, or announcements regarding new content for the game. There is no indication that additional DLC, expansions, or updates were ever planned beyond the initial release package. The game launched and was supported through its post-release polish phase, with development wrapping up by March 2020.

About this game


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 game 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. Furthermore, it introduces the fourth and last horseman STRIFE, as well as Co-op gameplay for the first time in the history of the franchise.

  • Blast angels and demons as the gunslinging Horseman Strife, playable for the first time
