Vigil Games'
Darksiders was announced back in 2007, with Joe Madureira as a creative director. The first game in the series followed War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, on his quest to find out who prematurely triggered the apocalypse. The
X-Men and
Inhumans artist designed the game's characters and settings, and also collaborated with Joe Kelly to write the first
Darksiders' script.
His influence is still felt, as
Darksiders III, which is created by Vigil Game's former employees, still features his wonderful designs. The Charred Council is one of them. According to the official
Darksiders lore, the council was bound by ancient laws, charged by the all-powerful Creator to preserve the Balance believing that any great power, left unchecked, threatens the very fabric of existence.
In
Darksiders, we saw the fall of the kingdom of man as the Seven Seals had been broken unleashing the apocalypse. This event marked the beginning of the Endwar, a battle that would bring true balance to the universe and decide the ultimate fate of the 3 kingdoms. The latest
Darksiders III video is focused on the role of the Council, so be sure to check it out ahead of the title's upcoming release.
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 will be available for PlayStation 4, PC and Xbox One on November 27, 2018.
