The joke here is that it was Microsoft Store that prematurely revealed when the long-awaited next instalment of Darksiders could potentially launch.

We can still see on the Microsoft Store that Darksiders III, which was announced in May 2017 with Fury as the main protagonist, is listed with a November 27 release date on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Since it’s a Tuesday, it’s not a placeholder, and it also seems to fit Steam’s late 2018 release window (which was shown as early as the game’s announcement!).

The game will be available in three formats. They are the following:

Standard Edition

• A copy of the game
• Pre-order Bonus: Armor Skin

Deluxe Edition

• A copy of the game
• Two paid downloadable contents due out post-launch
• Pre-order Bonus: Armor Skin
• Pre-order Bonus: 24 hours early access
• Pre-order Bonus: 10% discount

Blades & Whip Edition

• A copy of the game
• A copy of Darksiders: Warmastered Edition (playable on November 26)
• A copy of Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition (playable on November 26)
• Two paid downloadable contents due out post-launch
• Pre-order Bonus: Armor Skin
• Pre-order Bonus: 24 hours early access
• Pre-order Bonus: 10% discount

As THQ Nordic skipped E3 (with a joking press release, stating that they’d rather watch football…), they are confirmed to go all-in on Gamescom, which is going to be held in Cologne, Germany, in August. They might show more of their major games, such as Biomutant…
