  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.

  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...

  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...
