"Darksiders Warmastered Edition" was initially going to launch this past October but had to be delayed. It has now been announced that the game is launching before the end of November for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. A port is also heading towards the Nintendo Wii, U but no launch date has yet been released.
According to a report from Gematsu, the PS4 and Xbox One version is going to roll out on Nov. 22. The PC version of the game will launch on Nov. 29. The original "Darksiders" launched for the PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2010. A PC port was released later in the same year.
The new "Warmastered Edition" is designed to take advantage of newer advancements in gaming technology, adding 4K support for the PC version and the PS4 Pro. The console versions of the "Warmastered Edition" will also come with native 1080p resolution.
All of the texture resolutions have been doubled, and the game has also seen improvements in video rendering and texture rendering. All of the ports will have 60 fps but only in particular moments. The Wii U version of the game is going to be locked at 30 fps. No port for the upcoming Nintendo Switch console has been confirmed.
The original game, when it launched in 2010, was well received for its blend of RPG mechanics and hack-n-slash action. It was also compared to the likes of the "Devil May Cry" series and even the "God of War" games due to the reliance on third-person action and environmental action.
Unfortunately, the developers have not expressed if the game is also going to have later patches and upgrades for the Xbox Project Scorpio, the upgraded version of the Xbox One that is set to launch in late 2017. It has been stated that the game will have PS4 Pro enhancements such as the aforementioned 4K support.
