News: Darksiders Genesis has a system where you can upgrade and customize the battle skills of the horseman you are using.

A new gameplay trailer has just been released for Darksiders Genesis. In this new trailer we are introduced to the “Creature Core” system which allows players to upgrade and customize their horseman's battle skills. Both fighters begin with a variety of different attacks but will gain access to more devastating and fascinating ways to smash demons on their journey through hell. "Creature Cores" can be picked up afters slaying enemies and bosses and are also available for purchase at Vulgrim's store in exchange for souls.

The "Creature Core"-system allows the player to shift the balance between the different playstyles of WAR and STRIFE. Would you like to increase your attack power or add a lava trail to your dashes? Would you like a chance to spawn a hellhound whenever you attack or do you want to increase the amount of health & ammunition your enemies will drop? You will be able to tailor your character’s abilities to match your personal playstyle with the "Creature Core"-system.

Darksiders Genesis features the debut of the fourth and final horsemen – STRIFE – who battles alongside his brother and fellow horsemen WAR in the first-ever Darksiders two-player co-op mode. Solo players will be able to alternate between STRIFE and WAR on the fly, taking advantage of STRIFE’s ranged and WAR’s melee style attacks. Both characters can build up a special attack meter that, when activated, temporarily turns them into a colossal creature that leaves epic destruction in its wake.

Darksiders Genesis is slated to be released on PC and Stadia on December 5, 2019. It will arrive on consoles beginning February 14, 2020. Will you be picking up this new Darksiders adventure? Take a look at the video and tell us what you think.
