THQ Nordic and Airship Syndicate have announced the release date for the highly anticipated Darksiders Genesis. It will mark the franchise’s debut with a top-down perspective and introduces couch co-op and online co-op to the Darksiders franchise. Darksiders Genesis will be available for Xbox One on February 14, 2020.
Darksiders Genesis features the debut of the fourth and final horsemen, Strife, who can battle alongside his brother War.
Solo players will be able to alternate between both characters on the fly, taking advantage of Strife’s ranged and War’s melee style attacks. Both characters can build up a special attack meter that, when activated, temporarily turns them into a colossal creature that leaves epic destruction in its wake.
The game’s story events take place before the original Darksiders which explores the origin of the Seven Seals and featured War as the protagonist.
