The Crucible, the first DLC forDarksiders 3is now available forpurchaseat $6.99 USD.
This DLC includes a wave-based challenge mode that tasks the player with surviving, “101 Waves of grueling combat, fit only for the toughest and most steadfast of warriors.” There are also some new armor sets, enchantments, and rare crafting materials for weapons and enhancements.
A legendary challenge whispered with reverence across the universe. Not even the Creator could have envisioned such glorious spectacle as that which is found in this fabled arena.
These new items forDarksiders 3will come in-game from Targon, the Crucible Overseer. Targon is the brother of Kargon fromDarksiders 2who was the master of The Crucible in that game.
The Crucible was part of a leak by those perusing throughDarksiders 3’stext files. The Crucible was reported to be the first with a second coming sometime after called Keepers of the Void.
Darksiders 3first released in late November 2018 and has already sold enough torecoup its investmentfor THQ Nordic, who have made a name by buying up old THQ assets. Unfortunately the game itself is mediocre, with ourreviewernoting, “While I have long loved this series, the third entry is an underwhelming, buggy mess that doesn’t stand anywhere close to the greatness that was found in the first two installments. Deep down, I still want Gunfire Games and THQ Nordic to give this franchise one more shot, but if a subsequent entry were to once again turn out asDarksiders 3has, I’d just prefer if this now just be the series’ final breath.” Despite that disappointment you can look forward to the originalDarksiders, or well, theWarmastered Edition, coming toNintendo Switchthis April. Meanwhile we will keep waiting to see which of the77 gamesTHQ Nordic has in development will release this year.
