It would appear that Darksiders: Warmastered Edition is well and truly on the way to Nintendo Switch, after what appears to be something of a slip up by publisher THQ Nordic. The Warmastered Edition, which is an enhanced version of the series' first game that has already seen a release on Wii U in the past, has been rumoured to be coming to...

News The Darksiders Twitter Account Might Have Teased A Switch Release
THQ Nordic plays it down
The history of Darksiders on Nintendo platforms dates back to 2012 when Darksiders II was released on the Wii U as a launch title. Years later, at the very end of the system's life, THQ Nordic followed up with Darksiders: Warmastered Edition. The question now is, will this hack and slash action-adventure series - drawing...

News THQ Nordic Reconfirms Darksiders: Warmastered Edition for Wii U
The war goes on
With the Switch only about two weeks away from launch, the upcoming release schedule for the Wii U has been looking quite dire.

News Darksiders: Warmastered Edition Now Coming to Wii U "At a Later Stage", Delaying eShop Release
Death by a thousand delays
THQ Nordic claimed headlines and some goodwill a few months ago when it confirmed Darksiders: Warmastered Edition for the Wii U, helping Nintendo gamers catch up after the previous release of Darksiders II on the system. Though it'll naturally be less flashy than on PS4 and Xbox One - for example 30fps instead of 60 - it's...

A press release from publisher THQ Nordic has now confirmed that's the case, though the detail is a little different for Wii U owners. The 22nd November date is accurate for PS4, Xbox One and Wii U, but while the Sony and...

Rumour Darksiders: Warmastered Edition Has Been Delayed
Just by a month, though
Darksiders II was one of the first major third party games to be available on the Wii U, and it seemed to have been quite well received. Naturally, it stood to reason that its predecessor, Darksiders, would likely show up on the console someday, and it's now set to arrive as Darksiders: Warmastered Edition. The game was...

News Darksiders: Warmastered Edition Will Run At 30 FPS On Wii U
Half that of PS4 and Xbox One, unsurprisingly
We really liked Wii U launch title Darksiders II; while it pays homage to the Zelda series, it adds its own unique flavour as a grittier take on the action-RPG dungeon crawler. We recently reported that a remastered Darksiders would be coming to the Wii U, too, as Nordic Games have taken over the reigns...

News Darksiders is Coming to Wii U
Before Death, there is War
Last month, Nordic Games mentioned how they had a game coming that Action/Adventure fans would appreciate. Many made the guess that this would be a port of Darksiders, considering that Darksiders II already came to the console early on. It appears that this turned out to be true, as Nordic Games has confirmed that they are...
