THQ Darksider's genesis

Since the dawn of creation, the Council has maintained balance in the world. The Horsemen, Nephilim (powerful beings born from the union of an angel and a demon), have committed themselves to the Council, blessed with extraordinary power, and now carry out the Council's will. However, this power comes at a cost: the Horsemen had to kill all other Nephilim for it. Thus, the Nephilim fell victim to the Council's will and the power of the Horsemen in the bloody war over Eden.

War and Strife, with memories of the chaos of war still fresh, have already received a new mission: Lucifer, the mysterious, deceptive demon king, plans to disrupt the balance by granting new power to high-ranking demons in Hell. It is up to War and Strife to take down these demons, gather information, and crush a complex, demonic plan that threatens to forever disturb the balance and plunge all of creation into ruin.

In the action-adventure Darksiders: Genesis, players carve their way to Hell and back, slashing and shooting through hordes of demons, angels, and everything in between. Genesis showcases the world of Darksiders before the events of the first installment and introduces a new Horseman: Strife.
