Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition Announced

Nordic Games makes surprise announcements that Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition & a new Darksiders game are being developed

Over the last few years publisher THQ, after years of publishing movie spin-off and other low quality games, began to develop AAA quality titles in a last ditch effort to turn the company around. Sadly it was to late for THQ to bring themselves out of the red, forcing the company into bankruptcy and its IP’s auctioned off. Among those IP’s was the action series Darksiders, often described as a mix of Legend of Zelda and God of War elements.

Darksiders 2, which paralleled the events of the first game, was released shortly before THQ shuddered its doors. Despite how popular Darksiders 2 was after THQ went under the series future was in serious doubt by many gamers. Nordic Games had picked up Darksiders and many other THQ IP’s, that they assured gamers wouldn’t simply die. This week they made good on that promise with the announcement of the return of Darksiders.

Nordic Games has announced their plans to re-release Darksiders 2 on the PS4 and Xbox One in the form of Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition. A complete remaster of the game, its being handled by a studio known as Gunfire Games made up largely of former Vigil Games developers (the studio that originally created the Darksiders franchise). The remastered edition of the game will be brought up to a native 1080p with the light and shadow effects, character models, and environments all updated.

Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition won’t simply be a visual overhaul of the original game either. The remaster will include all of Darksiders 2 DLC including story missions and weapons to give players the full experience. On top of that the games loot system and balancing are being fine-tuned for the re-release, in a move to make the game better than ever.

If all that wasn’t enough Nordic games also let loose that a new title in the Darksiders series is in development. While they weren’t ready to say when we would be getting details about Darksiders 3 they were willing to confirm that its scope is “large scale” Hopefully we will be hearing more about the game soon, in the meantime we’ll have to settle for Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition launching this winter.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
