The Darkness from 2007, developed by the Swedish studio Starbreeze, might be getting a remaster.
When a person on Twitter expressed their desire to play The Darkness again but wished for a remaster because they didn’t feel like digging out their PS3, Nightdive’s CEO Stephen Kick jumped in with a response in all caps. And the reply leaves no room for misunderstanding:
ITS ON THE LIST
When and on which gaming platforms a potential The Darkness remaster will arrive, we will provide information if it comes to fruition.
The original was released for the PS3 and Xbox 360 in the summer of 2007 and is based on the comic book series of the same name. The game was developed by the “old” Starbreeze, the same people who created the phenomenal Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay (2004). However, The Darkness did not receive the same positive reception, and in 2009, just over a handful of key figures left (during the development of the Syndicate reboot) to form Machinegames (Wolfenstein: The New Order).
