Vigil had plenty of ideas for a third Darksiders game. Primarily, the team had kicked around the idea of making a four-player co-op game with all four Horsemen. Darksiders I and II let players take control of War and Death respectively.

Former Vigil creative director Joe Madureira told IGN:

“It was always our hope to do a full four-player co-op game, with all four Horsemen playable. It’s possible we could have pulled it off. I would have liked to introduce Fury and Strife. I know many fans feel robbed that they never got to play the last two Horsemen.”
