20 Most Anticipated Video Games Of 2018 - Ranked

16. Darksiders III

Darksiders 3 iii
THQ

When THQ crumbled, it took the fantastic Legacy of Kain-esque Darksiders franchise with it, though over time - and with the reintroduction of THQ Nordic - we've seen it get something of a resurrection.

Developed by newly named studio Gunfire Games (comprised of ex-Vigil staffers who worked on the first two games) this threequel is definitely in the right hands. What actually worked against the game's favour was showing it off in a drastically early state as part of one of IGN's 'First' series', though art direction is still a solid mix of gothic and fantasy.

Considering how the first Darksiders owed a TON of its design to Ocarina of Time and the second went into loot-based RPG territory, we'll just have to wait and see what Gunfire has in store for the legions of fans who will have waited six years for the followup to Darksiders 2.
