Gunfire Games’ development team includes multiple ex-Vigil Games employees who worked on Darksiders and Darksiders 2, including the Game Director, Executive Producer, and Lead Environment Artist.
Today, Microsoft Story accidentally revealed that the slasher is coming on Tuesday, November 27, 2018, right between Fallout 76 (November 14th), Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!

Fury, the protagonist of Darksiders III, is the sister of War and Death, the main heroes of the first two critically acclaimed games. The heroin uses her powerful whip to slay demons, similar to The Dark Prince in Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones and every single God of War game ever made. Publisher and owner of the Darksiders brand THQ Nordic has not responded to Microsoft Store's leak yet.
Return to an apocalyptic Earth in Darksiders III, a hack-n-slash Action Adventure where players assume the role of FURY in her quest to hunt down and dispose of the Seven Deadly Sins. The most unpredictable and enigmatic of the Four Horsemen, FURY must succeed where many have failed – to bring balance to the forces that now ravage Earth. Darksiders III is the long-anticipated, third chapter in the critically-acclaimed Darksiders franchise.
Darksiders III is set to release in 2018 on Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC.
