Apparently, enough of you have been asking for a PS5 version of Darksiders: Warmastered Edition, which in itself was a PS4 remaster of PS3 action game Darksiders. The current-gen edition of the title was revealed today, and it launches on 19th May 2026.

We're sure the dozens of you who asked for this are celebrating right now.

Besides the announcement trailer above, absolutely no other media, videos, or details have been published for the fresh PS5 version. The game's publisher, THQ Nordic, hasn't even acknowledged the reveal.

Based on the available footage, this looks to be an extremely straightforward, barebones re-release that will not actually take advantage of the PS5 hardware. Should more technical details come to light, we'll update this article with them.

The first Darksiders game has been freely available to play on PS5 via backwards compatibility since the console came out, via the original PS4 version of the Warmastered Edition. Darksiders 2 and Darksiders 3 can also be played on PS5 using the same feature, and we know Darksiders 4 is now in active development.

THQ Nordic actually pulled a similar stunt for Darksiders 2 in 2024, when the remastered Deathinitive Edition of the sequel got a PS5 version. A free PS4 to PS5 upgrade was offered in that situation, so you'd like to think it'll be the same for the Warmastered Edition. It's $29.99 if you don't already own the game.

All the way back in 2016, we gave the PS4 version of Darksiders: Warmastered Edition an 8/10 rating, calling it a "fantasy world that retains its wonder" at the time. Now, 10 years later, the game is back with a modern version... for some reason.
