Darksiders is a video game developed by Vigil Games. The game takes its inspiration from the apocalypse and battle of armageddon described in the Book of Revelation with the player taking the role of "War", one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. The game is to be released January 5, 2010 in the United States and January 8 in Europe. However in Greece it was released earlier.

The player takes on the role of War, one of the four legendary Horsemen of the apocalypse; the apocalypse has just taken place prematurely, and the world destroyed, and War finds himself tasked to find out who was behind this; caught in a battle between angels and demons, he has lost much of his power, and must find out where the other horsemen are, and who misled them into starting the final battle.

In Darksiders, Heaven and Hell are at odds and war with one another constantly. To preserve the balance; a mediator group, The Charred Council, sends their chosen warriors, The Four Horsemen, to kill Heaven and Hell's hordes until a truce is formed between the two rivaling kingdoms. Eons after the truce, a third kingdom is formed, the race of man. The Charred Council foresees that man will be a major factor in the role of Heaven and Hell. As such, a final war between Man, Heaven and Hell would be decided during a specific time: once the Seven Sacred Seals have been broken.
