Darksiders 4 Will Have Co-Op

Darksiders 4 will have multiplayer option up to four players, also Co-Op in split screen.

Multiplayer Option for Darksiders 4

During the THQ Nordic showcase on August 1, Darksiders 4 was officially confirmed. A tried-and-true sequel to the original game, gamers will be able to play as the Four Horsemen in a story that picks up where Darksiders 1 left off 15 years ago. Few gameplay details have been shared about the game so far, but it will feature robust combat, puzzle-solving, and traversal featuring all the Four Horsemen – War, Death, Fury, and Strife – as playable characters.

However, one detail in particular stood out to fans: Darksiders 4 will have co-op. The listings for Darksiders 4 on the PlayStation and Xbox stores as well as Steam confirmed that the sequel can be played alone or with friends, featuring optional online co-op for between two and four players. Additionally, IGN’s initial announcement for Darksiders 4 stated it would also have split-screen functionality, while Push Square reported that local multiplayer would support up to two gamers at once.

Interestingly enough, the game’s official website itself makes no mention of co-op whatsoever, despite the fact it would ostensibly be considered a major selling point for Darksiders 4. The store listings only make mention of online multiplayer, so aspects of this feature, including local co-op via split screen, may change or be omitted before the full release of the game.

Regardless, it sounds like multiplayer groups will be able to ride forth with all of the Four Horsemen at once, fulfilling a fantasy that has been a long time coming in the Darksiders franchise. Fans will have to wait for more information to find out exactly how co-op will work in Darksiders 4, and how single-player will differ.
