Darksiders 3 Not Planned To Be Released In 2013

Nordic Games was announced to be the winner of THQ’s auction of its popular game franchises such as Darksiders, Red Faction and MX vs ATV. And as such, the company is already speaking out in regards to one of its newly acquired properties, namely Darksiders.

Nordic Games CEO Lars Wingefors spoke with Game Informer in regards to the future of the Darksiders franchise saying they’ll begin speaking with partners to discuss where they’ll take it. “Officially, we haven’t talked to any partners. My colleagues in Austria are handling the business development and are handling all those contacts. We’ll be sitting down, I think, in the next week to discuss all those options,” Wingefors said. “It takes a very long time to make games. You won’t see a new Darksiders this year. I don’t believe in bringing out a s***** sequel.” (more…)

Darksiders, Red Faction Picked Up By Nordic Games From THQ Auction

Darksiders, Red Faction Picked Up By Nordic Games From THQ Auction

It was December 2012 when THQ filed for bankruptcy, which ultimately led to the publisher disbanding and selling off its assets. The majority of their assets were sold to various publishers, but one of the company’s most recently popular developer and their IP weren’t announced to have been purchased by anyone. Of course, we’re talking about Vigil Games and their Darksiders franchise. But this week, a European publisher called Nordic Games made shockwaves across the gaming world as they were announced to be the winners of the Darksiders franchise.

Darksiders wasn’t the only IP Nordic Games was able to secure from THQ as Red Faction and MX vs ATV were also picked up for a total of $4.9 million. Whether or not Nordic Games will be able to take each of these great series of games where they need to be is certainly yet to be seen, but with a rather long history of publishing various titles, we’re sure Darksiders and THQ’s other titles are certainly in good hands.
