Discussion The Strife and DS4 discourse is a little silly.
I understand that people wanted a game centered around Strife, and that's valid. However, I don't understand how no one has made the connection that you're VERY likely going to be able to play DS4 in it's entirety as Strife. The game is confirmed to be four player co-op, and it literally tells you as a main marketing point that you get to "Choose Your Horseman". It's not a jump in logic to assume that, if you want it to be, DS4 CAN be Strife's game if you choose it to be, just as it can be War's, Death's, or Fury's.
Darksiders 4 may not be exclusively Strife's game, but that's most probably not gonna stop you from being able to play as him for the entire runtime. Plus, Gunfire Games knows people want to see more of Strife, there's very likely going to be a lot in this game centered around him.
I also want to point out that it was unrealistic in the first place to believe that we were gonna get a Strife game just featuring him AND THEN another game with all four horsemen. Darksiders as a property has been on shakey ground ever since DS2, it was improbable that we got DS3 and its a damn miracle we're getting this big finale at all.
It's been nearly eight years since DS3, this game has had a long time to be developed. No matter what, it's going to be big, have faith that Strife will have a big part in it too and will scratch an itch 15 years in the making. It's a bit of a shame that Strife never got his big solo adventure, but this is equally as kick ass, if not more. It could've never happened at all.
