Na het faillissement van THQ kocht Nordic Games de rechten voor Darksiders, Red Faction MX vs ATV en Titan Quest. De uitgever liet eerder al weten blij te zijn met de aankoop van deze rechten en volgens product developer Reinhard Pollice kunnen ook consumenten blij zijn, want Nordic Games wil “het goede doen” met de aangekochte franchises.
Pollice onderkent tegelijkertijd dat Nordic Games een klein bedrijf is. Daarom hebben ze hulp ingeschakeld:
[We will] carefully select which franchises are up for getting a sequel or new installment. […] Darksiders is really big. We know we need a partner for that. An established development team that can pull out such a big action adventure.Volgens Pollice hoeven we niet bang te zijn dat Nordic Games snel sequels zal uitpoepen om makkelijk te kunnen cashen:
We obviously talked to former team members and, if they are free, we want to somehow involve them. If they are allowed to because, you know, some of them found other jobs or are with Crytek now – I would not look for a Darksiders 3 before two years from now. I mean, we just got two weeks ago the actual source codes and art assets. Before I went to E3, I was starting and getting to kick off internally what’s there. It will be a process over the next couple of months and then to discuss internally what route we want to go. We want to give fans they know from the past and they liked, but bring it somehow to the next level. What you as a player would expect from a sequel. We know we have to move one step ahead.Of Nordic Games deze beloftes waar kan maken, zal blijken in de toekomst.
