THQ Accidentally Confirms Darksiders: Warmastered Edition For Switch, Then Removes Evidence

This has always been a series I thought I would enjoy but other games always got in the way. I would 100% try this on switch if it runs well!

Absolutely loved this game but never finished it. Hopefully this means we'll get the other 2 soon aswell

Man, definitely hoping this is the start of us getting all three on the Switch. I'm actually finishing games on this system, and that's one I've always wanted to get to.

If the whole series becomes available on the switch, I’d get it and get rid of my PS4 copies (that I still have not played.)

I personally prefer playing on the switch even with inferior graphics as it means portability AND no achievements (I detest achievements as I try as I might can’t ignore them and they end up ruining how I play games)

Honestly I would not mind if the bulk of the PS3 and X360 libraries were re-released for the switch. Tons of games I never got to play due to not having time to sit in front of the TV. Switch is the only way I got to beat Skyrim’s campaign.

Hm, cool. I never did find a retail copy of this for wiiU, ever. Was just about to finally play #2, wonder if that's in the old switch pipeline too.

Let's hope this runs better than the Wii U version, which apparently was something of a technical mess. Let's keep the train of definitive Switch editions rolling!

Yes ! been holding off buying these as i knew they'd come to Switch eventually, really hope 2 and 3 follow soon, i adore this series

If it’s not 8K and 266Hz I’m not interested.

If this comes to the switch I would definitely buy this. I did not get for the Wii U because it didn't make sense.

I enjoyed it enough that I would definitely double dip on this.

I hope THQs next switch game is saints row 3 though.

The fact this trailer exists and was hastily taken down says to me it was originally intended to be revealed in the next Direct AND that the next Direct is nigh (like maybe next week?!?)

Please nintendo just roll a direct and stop with this nonesense XD

Still the best game in the series, Joe Madureira's artwork in this part of the series truly is second to none, and the remaster was already done pretty well on the Wii U, so I'd imagine that they'd at the very least be able to let it run equally good on the Switch, if not better.

Might just triple-dip, depending on the price, and depending if they're going to complete the trilogy on the Switch.

Hell yeah! Bring it on!

With every article about THQ, I'm just gonna post, "Battle for Bikini Bottom HD when?"

Nice to see more ports on the way.

Fantastic series overall. Really hope they bring the other 2 over, really enjoyed 2 the most. Hopefully they make enough to justify making part 4 eventually!

I played mabey half of the original on Xbox one and started playing other things and never went back, however I enjoyed what I did play and would gladly buy the Remaster for Switch day 1.

give us darksiders 3 while you're on it pls

@JackEatsSparrows yeah I can’t wait! Hahaha. I’m just saying I hope it’s the next game they plan on releasing. Darksiders is great and all but I want my portable saints first.

One more victim of the supposed January Direct.

Physical please!

I played this a long time ago on a bad computer at 20fps. Still loved it. Probably going to give it another go.

Terrible game. Way to buggy for my liking. If they fixed it it would be fine

I played the opening level on my PS4 and wasn’t impressed. Does the game get better than that? If so, I’ll give it another go

I am thinking that if this one sells well enough, we will see the other two

Loved this game and would be shocked if Darksiders 2 doesn't also get ported considering THQ seems to want them both on every console under the sun!

inb4 Darksiders: SWarmastered Edition.

@beazlen1 It barely hits 20Hz at points on X1X, don't worry, the Switch version is fine.

I got this for pennies on WiiU eShop in December. Actually quite enjoyed what I played.

@AG_Awesome Yup, I'm looking forward to some Saints more than this

@NEStalgia for this type of game anything stable above 20Hz will do it for me. That’ll give it a nice cinematic feel while still being perfectly playable. Just like good old N64 games! Still the king in my eyes!

@beazlen1 Yes, and I demand that my toaster toasts bread in crisp 4K!

Lol oh my gosh, they need to lay off “the sauce” at work. Now be silent and receive my currency.

Darksiders will be perfect for switch, playing docked or on the go hopefully darksiders 2 and 3 also make it to switch.

I like the artstyle here.

@Not_Soos
Man, I'd go for that. I remember getting it for my kids when it first came out on Gamecube, and then playing it as much as they did! Get a remaster and in a couple years my granddaughter can play it.

Love Darksiders. My favorite is Darksiders 2. Second would be Darksiders 3, and third would be Darksiders 1. They're all fantastic though.

Give me 1 and 2 and I'll be ecstatic to have HD handheld hybrid versions

This is the THQ game I have been waiting on, Woot!

They did it on purpose, just like the Darksiders twitter "accidentally" leaking it a week ago. So obviously calculated.

Darksiders games are pretty good. A perfect release at the beginning or end of a console's life but not something I can get excited about or have an interest in replaying.

@Tharsman There are a ton of 360 games I'd be down to see again. I'd play the crap out of Last Remnant on Switch.

Also, notifications for achievements can be turned off if they irritate you to such an extent.

Such a boring trailer without gameplay... zzzzzzz

@beazlen1 You currently have 3 dislikes. I guess that can only mean they missed the sarcasm

@Tirza I know right! Wish publishers would stop trying to sell games to us like we are a bunch of Sony fans. Nintendo gamers tend to appreciate the gameplay more than the graphics.

The more decent games that come to the Switch, the better. I don't think I'll be double-dipping for this one since I have it on the Wii U...and still need to play it. XD

@Indielink "Also, notifications for achievements can be turned off if they irritate you to such an extent."

Last time I checked, Xbox and PlayStation both only offered a complete disabling of notification popups, not just achievement/trophies. Even then, It's hard to explain, but just knowing they are there messes with my brain cogs. Honestly, the switch feels so relaxing without any of it.

This is gonna cost me money, isn't it. 😁😁😁

@ilikeike Yeah, the Wii U version is a mess! Worst I've ever played when it comes to game breaking glitches. It was definitely playable between the glitches, but I eventually gave up on it. If they fix it for the Switch, I might give it another chance.

That’s nice but I won’t bite until 3 goes to Switch as well.

Can’t wait to play another old game

Only ever played two on the Wii U so I’ll probably grab this straight away. Most people I talk to prefer this over the second and third game.

If it is a physical release I would buy it. I have it for the PS4 through a humble bundle deal and am slowly making my way through the game.

Ohhh yes!
This was always my favorite. Cant wait to play it again on Switch.

The same thing happened when they announced diablo 3 for the Nintendo switch, so whether taken down or not will make it's way too switch.

Both the wife and I beat the WiiU Darksiders 2 without issues...There was one crash when we started playing it and no other issues. Darksiders 2 was an awesome game on the WiiU. LOVED IT! Hope both of them come for the switch! I've actually had more issues with Diablo 3 on switch(that I love playing)...than I ever did with Darksiders 2 on the WiiU.

Yes! I’ve been waiting for this for ages.

I only hope that it’s physical, fairly priced (please, no full price for this) and the second game (even the third) is not far behind.

Darksiders 2 should be coming as well.

Not too sure Darksiders 3 will unless the ports of the first 2 do really well. I doubt THQ wants this game to flop twice.

I think I got one of the Darksiders games on Xbox 360 for my birthday years ago. Never played it, and it got stolen with everything else.

I guess now's a good time as any to see what the fuss is about.

Great! Start bringing that trilogy over!

Played a little of this on Wii U but would be open to getting again on Switch...for the right price. The game is nearly a decade old (Jan. ‘10 was its initial release) so I wouldn’t wanna pay more than $25

De Blob 3, THQ. When?

I think I may just have to grab this! ^^

THQ does an OOPSIE
