THQ Nordic today announced that hack-n-slash action-adventure Darksiders III, currently in development at Gunfire Games, is scheduled to have a worldwide release on November 27th, 2018. The game will be available on PC, PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One family of devices, including the Xbox One X.
About Darksiders III: Players return to an apocalyptic planet Earth in Darksiders III, a hack-n-slash action-adventure where players take on the role of FURY in her quest to hunt down and dispose of the Seven Deadly Sins. The Charred Council calls upon FURY to battle from the heights of heaven down through the depths of hell in a quest to restore the balance between good and evil and prove that she is the fiercest of the FOUR HORSEMEN. FURY is a mage, her form evolving throughout gameplay and with it, her powers and weaponry. The expansive Darksiders III game world is presented as an open-ended, living, free-form planet Earth, dilapidated by war and decay, and overrun by nature. FURY will traverse back and forth between environments, battling other-worldly creatures and unlocking puzzles while advancing the Darksiders story.
The company also launched a comprehensive pre-order campaign for Darksiders III, designed to reward a fanbase whose patience and loyalty is second to none.
Players who pre-order Darksiders III at participating retailers will receive the GAME plus the FURY Exclusive Armor DLC – a completely original skin for FURY’s base armor that will set her apart and always be visible during gameplay. FURY Exclusive Armor DLC will be available on launch day, November 27.
Players who pre-order Darksiders III from PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store will have their choice of 3 distinct pre-order opportunities featuring exclusive in-game content, special discounts and 24-hour early access to Darksiders III.
