THQ Nordic uploads, then quickly deletes Darksiders for Nintendo Switch trailer [UPDATED]

Peetstar | 01/30/2019

UPDATE:

Update: As expected, THQ Nordic has confirmed the release of Darksiders Warmastered Edition for the Switch. The company has also added a release date: April 2. The game will be available both at retail and digitally for $29.99.

ORIGINAL:

A trailer for Darksiders: Warmastered Edition on Nintendo Switch briefly appeared on THQ's website this afternoon.

The video was swiftly removed after its discovery was made public - and then replaced by a GIF:

Of course, the internet never forgets - and the trailer is still available to view elsewhere if you so choose:

Was the reveal meant for Nintendo's next Direct broadcast? With it popping up online now, it doesn't feel like we have long to wait and find out.

Darksiders: Warmastered Edition first launched for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in late 2016, before a belated Wii U release in May 2017. It was one of the last big launches for Nintendo's unloved console - and it sold terribly on the dying platform.

Something tells us this Switch version will shift a few more copies of the game than on Wii U.

Honestly, Nintendo can kick rocks for all I care, but the Darksiders games have been an awesome way for me to just pull up a game and let my mind melt into it. I have enjoyed the story for each game individually and, even though the mesh is not perfect, the entire story line that is presented in the current trilogy. Were there issues with the games? Sure, I wont deny that they have had their difficulties, but I enjoyed them anyways! I hope Strife will come out to play soon!! :D
