I mean, Darksiders is being re-released on Wii U specifically when nearly every other gaming publisher has ignored Wii U for years. Darksiders 2 has been slowly selling through sales on the eShop for years now. And Nordic has rebranded itself with the THQ name to re-establish itself as a relevant gaming company with apparently "23 games in development" using franchises it owns and the developers behind Darksiders have continually said they want to make more Darksiders...
I think it will depend on the sales of darksiders 1 personally. I don't think they expect gangbusters but if it sells sub 200,000 that will definitely hurt the chances of a darksiders 3 on the nx
@FragRed you are assuming Nordic (a fairly small developer when compared to the Giants) is making a big budget aaa title. I can tell you right now it's unlikely. I'm leaning on them reusing the darksiders 2 engine with a few improvements to make the 3rd installment.
@faint Nordic maybe small, but they are very much going out of their way to change that. They bought a number of THQ IP and have now rebranded themselves as THQ Nordic. Notice the fact they put THQ first in the new name and even have a website set up. They are very much eyeing themselves to be a big triple A publisher.

@FragRed I agree with that however that does not mean they are going to risk it all on one ip. That's what thq did and look at them now. If you think this game is going to have an assassins creed budget I'm afraid you are going to be disappointed.
It's always funny to find a thread that posed a question, and yet provided the best answer to that question right in the opening post.
That said, knowing that they're working on something for the Switch is promising, even it that game doesn't necessarily have to be a Darksiders game (I mean...Nordic games has a lot of good stuff under their belt at this point).
