IGN shared first impressions of the game in Darksiders 3

A couple of days after the announcement of Darksiders 3 edition IGN shared first impressions of the game in the existing version of the project. In the framework of IGN First, Alana Pearce told what the continuation of the well-known series of slashers looks like, and how it differs from past games.

The first thing that everyone noticed on the announcement is the main character Darksiders 3. According to Alana, visually the Fury fits perfectly into the family of apocalypse riders, and the gameplay it feels like a mixture of Cat-Women and Kratos from God of War in the post-apocalyptic setting.

The plot of the game is somewhere between the first and second part of the series, when the War is still in custody at the Charred Council, and Death is trying to atone for his sins and restore the Third Kingdom. It is known that the main mission of Rage will be the extermination of the Seven Deadly Sins, one of which, Laziness, appeared before Alan in the form of a huge ugly beetle. But how the history of Darksiders 3 will be connected with the plots of previous games is still unknown.

Visually the game will look to the head above the previous Darksiders thanks to the change of the engine on the Unreal Engine. Pierce notes that the details of the character and the world around, water and effects - everything looks very dignified and rich. She also said that the territories and their content will become more meaningful and logical, and players will be able to freely navigate the map with little or no load and constantly see new points for research.

In general, the world of Darksiders 3 will be felt as one large dungeon, thematically divided into several parts. There will be at least eight of them - one for each Sin and a relatively safe Vault in the form of a huge old tree. Alana said that the subject of each boss is reflected in their locations, as if their essence has changed everything around them. The same will affect the opponents of Rage, among which will be both old and new monsters. In general, the world of the new Gunfire Games project will be filled with interesting places and events, and the gameplay on them will be more vertical compared to the previous Darksiders.

Darksiders 3 will be released in 2018 on the PC, Xbox One and PS4.
