New Steam Soulslike Crimson Moon Flips the Darksiders Script
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
A new Steam soulslike titled Crimson Moon offers an alternative for Darksiders fans waiting for the next installment, featuring angelic protagonists, soulslike combat, and cooperative multiplayer ahead of its September 2026 release.
As the wait for official news on Darksiders 4 continues, Steam players looking to fill the void have a promising new option on the horizon. According to a recent report by Game Rant, an upcoming action title called Crimson Moon is taking heavy inspiration from the classic franchise while completely inverting its premise. Instead of stepping into the boots of the Four Horsemen, players take on the role of powerful celestial beings that closely resemble the angelic adversaries from the Darksiders universe.
Developed with the soulslike mechanics popularized in Darksiders 3, Crimson Moon combines demanding combat with brutal melee weapons and violent angelic abilities. Players operate as Nephilims tasked with defending humanity from demonic hordes in the fallen city of Gildenarch. Beyond the striking visual similarities and grim aesthetic, the game aims straight at what the community has been asking for by featuring built-in co-op gameplay, letting you tackle the chaos with a friend right by your side.
For a community that treats co-op action and challenging PvE experiences as essential social spaces, the inclusion of cooperative runs makes this an easy title to watch. The game is built around high replayability, offering hours of chaotic combat for duos looking for their next shared challenge. With a targeted launch window of September 2026 on Steam, players do not have to wait too much longer to test their skills against the demonic onslaught.
