The executive producer for Nordic Games Reinhard Pollice posted on the Steam community forum with an interesting titbit regarding the future of the Darksiders franchise.
“Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition was just the start. Since we acquired the franchise we were looking for options for doing a DS3. The remaster was just a way to get some spotlight on the franchise again, reactivate the community and have a better starting position for DS3.”
The remake, which is out now has been met with generally good reviews regarding the story and setting and now has increased graphical fidelity and a re-jigged gameplay experience to bring the game to the next level. It feels like this remake is indeed purely to see if there is still interest in the old (now defunct) THQ franchise, and it would be great to see the rest of the story that was planned for this great series.
Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition is out now on Xbox One.
