Despite quiet release, sequel recouped its investment
When THQ Nordic released their hellish action RPGDarksiders III, things got off to a rough start. It appeared that Fury’s journey into the Underworld hadwholly failed to set charts alightand get the cash registers ringing.
However, according to the publisher, Gunfire Games’ grimdark titlehasperformed to its owner’s expectations, with sales to date covering the sequel’s budget, marketing, and other investments. Speaking in their fourth quarterly financial report, THQ Nordic stated that theDarksidersfranchise remains “one of the group’s key IPs.” So although it originally seemed thatDarksiders IIIwas threatening to put the series in the ground, the exploits of The Four Horsemen (and women) are very likely to continue.
Darksiders IIIis available now on PS4, PC and Xbox One.Darksiders: Warmastered Editionlaunches on Nintendo Switch April 2.
