E3 07: Darksiders Headed to PS3, X360

THQ today announced an original open world action-adventure game titled Darksiders: Wrath of War, for release on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Developed by THQ's internal studio Vigil Games, Darksiders is being headed up by former comic book artist and Vigil founder Joe Madureira (Uncanny X-Men, Battle Chasers). Players will be put in the role of War, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, as he explores a hellish, apocalyptic landscape. "Joe Madureira has created a classic story of exploration and revenge and we've used that as the foundation for ultimate sword-clashing, rocket-firing, super hero adventure," said THQ's Kelly Flock. While few details were released with the announcement, you can view some concept art to get a feel of the game's style. Darksiders: Wrath of War will make its way to stores sometime in 2008.
