Darksiders III Will Arrive in November With A Massive Apocalypse Edition

Written by Brandon Hofer on July 09, 2018

News: The wait is almost over for the next iteration in the Darksiders franchise and now you have to decide which version you want.

Darksiders III finally has a release date and it might be sooner than you think. THQ Nordic has finally told us that you will be able to get your hands on the next adventure in the Darksiders franchise beginning on November 27, 2018. Along with the release date announcement came news of some pre-order bonuses, in addition to the different editions of the game that will be available. For starters, anyone who pre-orders at participating retailers will get the Fury armor DLC. This is being described as an original skin for Fury’s base armor what will help set her apart and you will be able to see it while playing the game.

There will of course be a digital version of the game in addition to a physical version. If you decide to go the digital route than there will be three different versions to choose from. These different versions will be as follows:

Standard Edition - $60/£45

Base game

Deluxe Edition - $72/£50

Base game

Bonus armor skin

Two paid DLC packs that will launch in the future

Blades & Whip Edition - $90/£59

Base game

Bonus armor skin

Two paid DLC packs that will launch in the future

Darksiders: Warmastered Edition

Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition

If you pre-order one of these versions you will receive 24-hour early access, meaning you will be able to play the game one day early on November 26. With those three versions outlined there are a couple of things that should be noted. As you can see the price points look a little strange. The Deluxe Edition is normally $79.99 with the Blades & Whip Edition being normally $99.99. If you pre-order them right now though you will get a discount, which you can see above.

Additionally, if you choose to purchase the Blades & Whip Edition you will not have immediate access to Darksiders: Warmastered Edition and Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition. Once again, you will not have immediate access. These games will become playable for you beginning November 26, the day before the release of Darksiders III. This is a really strange decision and doesn’t make a whole lot of sense but, for now, that is how it is. So please don’t buy the Blades & Whip Edition and expect to be able to play Darksiders 1 and 2 anytime soon. With all of that said though, if you are an Xbox Game Pass member, both Darksiders 1 and 2 are currently a part of that program so you can download and play them right now as a Game Pass member.

For those of you who prefer to go the physical route there are some pretty big collector’s editions to choose from. First is the actual Darksiders III: Collector’s Edition that will be available for approximately $150. This will include the following:

Premium Box

Fury Figurine about 29cm - 11” high

Original Steelbook

Artbook

Soundtrack

Exclusive Armor DLC; completely original skin replacing Fury’s base armor set

In addition to that collector’s edition is the massive Darksiders III: Apocalypse Edition. This will set you back a whopping $400 but comes with some items that big Darksiders fans will definitely want. The Apocalypse Edition includes the following:

Premium Box about 117cm - 46”

Wall Scroll - Fabric print with hanger - 30” x 40”

4 Figurines: Fury (11” high), Vulgrim, War, Death (approximately 10” high)
