Fatality will certainly quickly ride once again according to THQ Nordic. In an unusual expose they’ve revealed that Darksiders 2, probably the most effective video game in the whole collection, is obtaining remastered for PS5 and Xbox Collection gaming consoles. Wager you didn’t have that a person on your 2024 bingo card.
THQ Nordic was eager to explain that sprucing up Darksiders 2 is not associated with the current Darksiders intro trailer. To put it simply, it appears like Darksiders 4 is still on the cards, unless Nordic is teasing another thing, in which instance it’s mosting likely to have a great deal of pissed off followers baying for blood.
This brand-new remaster is mosting likely to be based upon the Deathinitive Version of Darksiders 2, itself a PS4 and Xbox One re-release of the initial PS3/Xbox 360 video game.
According to journalism launch, this brand-new “updated version” of Darksiders 2 is readied to include 4K resolution, ray mapping and improved illumination and darkness. PS5 gamers will certainly obtain complete haptic comments assistance for the Dualsense controller, and the video game will certainly profit throughout all systems from much quicker packing times.
No word on whether the computer variation will certainly obtain any type of upgrades.
The brand-new Darksiders II Deathinitive Version will certainly introduce on October 15 for PS5 and Xbox Collection gaming consoles for $29.99 / €29.99.
Nevertheless, there are a couple of means to obtain it less expensive or perhaps free of charge. Evidently, PlayStation consumers that pre-order the video game prior to October 14 will certainly obtain a monstrous 50% of, bringing it to around $15/€15.
If you currently have the Deathinitive Version of PS4, you’ll obtain the upgrade free of charge when it releases.
On Xbox, you’ll likewise obtain the upgrade free of charge if you have the Deathinitive Version. To aid with that, THQ Nordic has actually decreased the cost of the Deathinitive Version on the Xbox shop by 50%, bringing it to $15.
It’s a charitable system and an unusual news in general., particularly because you’d anticipate the very first video game to obtain the current-gen spruce up initially because it’s…well, you recognize, the initially video game in the collection. Still, it’s a damn pleasurable shock as Darksiders 2 is a seriously enjoyable activity video game starring a badass protagonist, stacks of loot, outstanding fight and a trendy globe.
I can’t assist yet question the economic choice behind it, however. As high as I enjoy the Darksiders franchise business, I’m uncertain there’s a big market for a remaster, particularly when the majority of individuals that would certainly desire it will likely currently have the Deathinitive Version and will certainly consequently obtain this upgrade free of charge. Probably, it’s to assist reinforce the collection’s existence in advance of a complete expose for Darksiders 4, which will most likely ultimately bring all 4 Horsemen of the Armageddon with each other.
Whatever the thinking, I’m seriously pumped to have a justification to experience Darksiders 2 around once again. And it has actually stimulated some hope in me that the initial Darksiders could obtain the very same therapy.
