Nightdive Studios has plans to remaster The Darkness, which means that, if all goes nicely, PC gamers will lastly get to homicide folks with demonic tentacles. Primarily based on the Prime Cow comedian guide of the identical identify, the sport blends FPS gunplay with demon-assisted slaughter and, in accordance with Nightdive’s CEO, it’s very a lot on its to-do listing.
If you happen to’ve by no means performed The Darkness or its sequel (which did make it to PC) you’ve missed out on a deal with. Each video games forged you as Jackie Estacado, a goth mafioso wannabe who’s assassinated by his paranoid uncle.
He rises from the grave because of The Darkness, a demonic entity that has lengthy been tied to his bloodline. It items him the facility to tear hearts out, command demonic minions, and usually kick ass.
Weapons are nonetheless his major weapon, however his different talents give him an actual edge. Plus, you may sit via the whole lot of To Kill a Mockingbird in-game, which I at all times appreciated.
Nevertheless, launched in 2007 by Starbreeze Studios, The Darkness solely ever landed on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It was usually well-received and spawned an equally well-liked 2012 sequel, although a 3rd entry has by no means materialized.
In response to a Tweet, Nightdive CEO Stephen Kick revealed that The Darkness was certainly “on the listing.” I’m curious as to what else is likely to be on that very same listing, nevertheless it’s at the very least affirmation {that a} remastered The Darkness might be touchdown on PC.
So what may go flawed? Being on Nightdive’s listing doesn’t essentially imply that it has the rights to remaster the sport. The studio has a fairly good monitor report up to now, however till a proper announcement lands, it’s arduous to say whether or not this remaster is a surefire factor.
I’ve acquired my fingers crossed that it occurs. Partly as a result of I’m wanting ahead to stepping again into Jackie’s gothic gangster boots. However I additionally wish to use a top-of-the-range PC to observe To Kill a Mockingbird in a tiny, tiny window.
Within the meantime, if it’s over-the-top blasting you’re in search of, try our information to the most effective Armored Core 6 builds and Armored Core 6 weapons. And listed below are the greatest horror video games on PC, in the event you’re after one thing in a spookier vein.
