Players take control of one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, from a third-person perspective, each of which offer unique play styles and equipment. The Darksiders games feature an action role-playing hack and slash style of gameplay. Unlike the main series games, Genesis is developed by Airship Syndicate, who previously developed Battle Chasers: Nightwar, and comprises some of the original developers of Vigil Games. It was subsequently released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on February 14, 2020. The game was released on Microsoft Windows and Stadia on December 5, 2019.
A spin-off prequel of the main series, Darksiders Genesis is a top-down role-playing game which follows the fourth and final horseman, Strife, who, alongside his brother War, is called upon to save mankind from certain destruction at the hands of Lucifer.
