Embracer Group has moved the Darksiders 4 launch into a specific window, giving fans a concrete timeline for the long-delayed sequel. This confirmation shifts the title from indefinite limbo to a scheduled release, allowing players to plan their gaming budgets for the next two years. The publisher finally answered a question that has lingered since the game's initial announcement.
Embracer confirms sequel launch timeline for 2027 to 2028
Gunfire Games is developing the title while THQ Nordic handles publishing duties under the Embracer umbrella. The development team has spent several years on the project, with previous delays extending the timeline for its launch. This scheduling aligns the title with Embracer's strategy of releasing major games from both third-party and internal intellectual property franchises.
The official release window spans from April 1, 2027, to March 31, 2028. Embracer Group identified this period as Fiscal Year 2027-2028 in its recent financial reporting. The company stated that the exact day of release has not been decided yet, leaving the specific month open for now.
Embracer Group plans to release at least two major games annually during this fiscal window. Darksiders 4 may count toward that target, though the company did not explicitly confirm its inclusion in the 'major games' list. Another confirmed title for this period is the next Kingdom Come game, which shares the same release window.
Readers waiting for the fourth entry in the Darksiders series now have a definitive timeframe to anticipate the game's arrival. The confirmation provides clarity on the project's status, even if the precise launch date remains pending. Further updates will be provided as Embracer announces the specific release month.
