Darksiders Warmastered PS5 is the third life of a game that has quietly refused to die. The original Darksiders arrived in 2010, was remastered in 2016, and in May 2026 THQ Nordic rebuilt it again as a native current-generation release running at 4K and 60 frames per second — sixteen years after War first rode onto a ruined Earth.

War, the Charred Council and a Frame-Up
On the Darksiders Warmastered, war is the first Horseman of the Apocalypse. He is summoned to Earth for the final battle between Heaven and Hell — except the battle was never supposed to happen yet. Humanity has not been given its chance, the seventh seal was never broken, and War arrived because someone wanted him to.
On the Darksiders Warmastered, hauled before the Charred Council, indicted for breaking the sacred law and stripped of his powers, he is sent back to a scorched Earth a century later to find whoever set him up. Angels hunt him. Demons occupy the ruins. He has to work with both.
Zelda Structure With an Apocalyptic Coat of Paint
On the Darksiders Warmastered, underneath the heavy-metal art direction is a structure lifted openly from classic Zelda: a connected overworld, self-contained dungeons with their own themes and bosses, and a signature item in each one that unlocks the next area. There is a boomerang. There is a grappling hook. There is a portal gun. It is not subtle about its influences and it works.
On the Darksiders Warmastered, combat sits closer to God of War — a heavy sword, a growing set of secondary weapons and wrath abilities, and executions on staggered enemies. Joe Madureira’s comic-book art direction gives everything exaggerated proportions and heavy inking that has aged far better than photorealistic games from the same year.
Darksiders Warmastered PS5: What the Native Version Adds
On the Darksiders Warmastered, until this release, playing the first Darksiders on a PlayStation 5 meant running the PlayStation 4 disc through backward compatibility. The native build changes four concrete things: rendering at native 4K, a stable 60 frames per second, a full Photo Mode, and DualSense support so the weight of War’s sword registers in the controller. Activities Cards are supported too, so you can jump straight to specific objectives from the console dashboard.
On the Darksiders Warmastered, all previously released content is included. Details are on the official PlayStation Store listing.
Where It Fits in the Series
On the Darksiders Warmastered, this is chapter one. Darksiders II followed in 2012 with War’s brother Death, Darksiders III arrived in 2018 with Fury, and the prequel spin-off Darksiders Genesis shifted to a top-down view in 2019. Darksiders 4 was announced by THQ Nordic and is in development, which is very likely why the original has been brought forward to current hardware now.

FAQ – Darksiders Warmastered PS5
Do I need to have played the other Darksiders games?
No. This is the first entry chronologically and by release. It is the correct starting point for the series.
How is this different from the PS4 Warmastered Edition?
On the Darksiders Warmastered, this one runs natively on PS5 hardware with native 4K, a stable 60FPS, Photo Mode, DualSense support and Activities Cards. The PS4 disc only ran through backward compatibility.
How long is the campaign?
On the Darksiders Warmastered, roughly fifteen to twenty hours for the main path, longer if you clear optional dungeons and collect the hidden upgrades.
Is it a difficult game?
On the Darksiders Warmastered, moderately. Boss fights demand pattern recognition rather than reflexes, and difficulty settings are available. Puzzle dungeons are the real time sink.
Is Darksiders 4 out?
Not yet. THQ Nordic has announced it as the fourth mainline entry and confirmed it is in development, but no release date has been given.
