  Embracer doesn’t really make a game good or bad. The harm they’ve brought to the industry has more to do with their acquisition of studios and then closing them down after realizing they’ve overextended themselves. In the early days, they were looked at as a potential boon to the industry, offering pay stability for studios with their size, but obviously they made some poor choices and have done irreparable damage to many developers’ lives.

  so they’ve covered all 4 horsemen in the last 4 games:

  • Darksiders 1 - War
  • Darksiders 2 - Death
  • Darksiders 3 - Fury
  • Darksiders Genesis - Strife (+War)

  What do you think is next?

    The original plan was to have all 4 together in a co-op game iirc

      Dude, seeing the 3 other horsemen come down at the end of the first game had me so fucking hyped

    Genesis is a different style of game tho, isn’t it? Diablo-like rather than third-person hack and slash?

    Love the series. Personally prefer 3 due to its more limited scope; the other two are great, but to on for a very long time, and I really can’t be bothered playing through the Portal-like bits again. Happy if 4 is the same length as 3.

    They’ve had their hands in plenty of other games, good and bad, including the previous Darksiders.

    Nordic Games bought what remained of THQ back in the day when the latter went bankrupt. (THQ used to be comparable to the likes of EA and Ubisoft before they made some poor decisions)

    The holdings company behind THQ Nordic rebranded into Embracer some years ago.

    So what you’re saying is that it’s doomed?
