16 Essential Open-World Video Games Coming In 2017 & 2018

11. Darksiders III

Slyly announced as THQ Nordic slowly make their transition back into being the second incarnation of THQ, Darksiders III is continuing the idea of each games' protagonist being one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, here swapping out the remaining 'characters' Famine and Conquest, as we're getting the flame-haired Fury instead.

Very little has been seen at this stage, but based purely off the pedigree of those first two games, Darksiders III will be another solid slice of Zelda-influenced action, twinned with item-based progression and a wonderfully unique art style.

The Darksiders series remains fairly overlooked and underrated, though with THQ Nordic putting the time into remastering both 1 and 2 in preparation for this game's 2018 release date, there's plenty time to brush up on the darker side of biblical lore.
