Platinum Games Shows Interest In The Darksiders Franchise

Atsushi Inaba, the head of Platinum games, tweeted that he may be interested in snatching up the rights to Darksiders.

The report comes from Kotaku, which translated the Japanese tweet from Inaba. It reads, "In THQ studio and IP selling off auction, Darksiders is unsold? [We] wanna buy it...on the cheap..."

This shouldn't be taken as a legitimate bid on the franchise, but the idea of a Platinum Games/Vigil mash-up on Darksiders certainly sounds interesting. Also, anything to keep Darksiders going long enough for this to happen has to be a good thing.

Please God, someone pick them up. Vigil worked so hard and it really showed, I hope they're able to give us a Darksiders III!
by Scubbasteve223 Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 08:05 PM

I am more than okay with this O.O
by Eric Reis Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 08:06 PM

yeah I would be happy with this, seems like a great home for them!
by wickemic Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 08:06 PM

And here is why those wanting a Darksiders III shouldn't be giving up hope so early.
by Gamemaniac3434 Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 08:06 PM

Yes. This should happen, because **BRAAAHHHH** Vigil keeps getting closer and closer to making a great game. Maybe the 3rd one will hit it. Or allow 4 to hit it. 2 was still pretty good though...
by DrDee44 Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 08:07 PM

Fingers crossed a dev picks up this franchise!!!

I would like to make an offer:$200, cash not a check.

I felt sorry for fans of Darksiders for a moment,then they posted this. Just cross your fingers guys.

by Zebra3 Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 08:13 PM

Oooohhh, I would like this!
by Nolan Swart Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 08:13 PM

Wow... that would work VERY well.
by Gethy118 Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 08:15 PM

I really hope someone keeps this franchise alive. I have enjoyed it and would live to see a Darksiders 3.
by Aaron Quixote Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 08:15 PM

Brilliant news! I hope Darksiders 3 sees the light of day, though I hope Platinum just lends support and let's Vigil keep on keepin' on.
by Jesus23 Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 08:18 PM

If it doesn't happen... Kickstarter campaign to save vigil!

Edit: or at least compensate them for their loss...

Also, on the earlier Tweet, apparently someone from Platinum said:

"@haydndalton hey man. If anyone is interested in working with/at Platinum let me know how to get ahold of you via DM. "
