Two ‘Darksiders III’ DLC Packs Announced
In lieu of releasing another trailer for the upcoming Darksiders III, THQ Nordic have instead revealed details for two of the upcoming DLC packs for the game &emdash; The Crucible and Keepers of the Void. While dates and pricing for the DLC packs haven’t been announced, those who plunked down cash for one of the digital or physical editions (other than the standard, of course) will be able to have these DLC packs when they’re released.
In The Crucible, Fury is summoned by a strange entity to enter what’s known as The Crucible to take on waves of hellspawn, with new items and gear as your reward. In Keepers of the Void, Fury is given a quest by Vulgrim to enter the Serpent Holes, tasked with destroying an ancient threat. Each of the Serpent Holes contains puzzles and new enemies, and after carving your way through, Fury will unlock a new weapon and The Abyssal Armour for use in the regular Darksiders III campaign.
Darksiders III is out on November 27th for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
