#darksidersweek2023

Happy Anniversary to Darksiders Genesis(the PC release, not the console release)!

Better late than never, right?

Darksiders Week is happening again this year! Join us in celebrating the Darksiders franchise as a whole and Darksiders Genesis (the 5th is its anniverysary!) from December 5th to December 12th!

For the rules around this little celebration, see the FAQ on this blog.

The theme schedule for this year's Darksiders week is as follows (note that you do NOT have to produce content for each day--you can do as many or as few as you like):

x-x

Day 1: Celebrating Genesis – It’s the anniversary of Darksiders Genesis, so how about a creative glimpse into your favorite moment/feature from this game?

Day 2: The Horsemen – And their horses of course. This is the day for showing your love for the main cast.

Day 3: The supporting cast – From lands near and far. Be they demons, angels, makers or others, this is their day to shine.

Day 4: Original characters – This is the day for posting all your human survivors, your nephilim renegades and whomever else you may have cooking up in your beautiful minds!

Day 5: Before the end– Which end am I referring to? The slaughter of the nephilim? The corruption in the Forgelands? The apocalypse? That’s up to you! Just make sure to wrench out your audience’s hearts. :)

Day 6: After the beginning– You didn’t think we’d have hurt without comfort, would you? The Darksiders universe is a dark and terrible place—time to let the cast have a breather and look towards a more hopeful future.

Day 7: Wildcard – No thematic restrictions for this day—just show us your love for the Darksiders universe. Your perfectly safe-for-work love that is—no nsfw commissions please. ;)

Egon, a hornless, wingless demon who has been sent on a suicide mission to steal a certain Horseman's scythe, and never reveal who gave him such an impossible task...which, of course, he does the moment the coveted scythe is pressed up against his neck.

Death intends to find out who would send a single butchered minion to retrieve one of the most powerful weapons in Creation, and so the poor, quivering demon must lead the Rider right to his master's doorstep if he does not wish to lose his head - which he may lose anyway when his master finds a Horseman standing in his court, cooly demanding an audience.

And so it begins! Darksiders Week 2023 has officially started!

“Had War not already seen what had attracted his brother’s attention, being addressed in such a manner might as well have soured any chance of the pair working together. But this was something that any of the Riders would understand. War absently placed a hand on Ruin’s neck.”

Darksiders Week 2023 is coming to a close.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who participated!

I will still be monitoring the tags #darksidersweek, #darksiders week, #darksidersweek2023 and #darksiders week 2023 for another week, so if you have any late submissions, feel free to post them!
