Darksiders 2 got the remaster treatment last week in the form of the dubiously titled Deathinitive Edition. It was a welcome move for Darksiders fans as it demonstrated that Nordic Games – the publisher that acquired the IP from THQ when it shuttered in 2012 – hasn't abandoned the series. Indeed, according to new comments made by Nordic Games executive producer Reinhard Pollice on Steam, the company has further plans for the Zelda-like adventure.
"Darksiders 2 Deathinitive Edition was just the start," Pollice wrote on the Darksiders 2 community forum. "Since we acquired the franchise we were looking for options for doing a DS3. The remaster was just a way to get some spotlight on the franchise again, reactivate the community and have a better starting position for DS3."
Despite technical issues at launch, Darksiders 2 reviewed reasonably well when it released in 2012. "Darksiders II offers a rewardingly deep system of combos that must be exploited with intelligence and precision," Marsh Davies wrote in his review
