Darksiders III Large Image Games

Darksiders III Will Unleash the Power of Fury’s Whips and Flails, Pre-order Now on Xbox One

The Darksiders franchise has always been a unique take on action adventures. The core pillars are combat, traversal, and puzzles and we try to serve these elements up to players in a new way with each installment in the franchise. We like to think that the combat has been elevated with each sequel, from a focus on very powerful attacks with War’s chaoseater to a slaughter-fest with Death’s arsenal of scythes. Now, a more tactical approach is fueled by Fury’s set of powers. Darksiders III introduces Fury, the third of the Four Horsemen, a character archetype of a mage so all her weapons and abilities are powered by magic. The key to this magic is in the hilt she holds on her hip... Read more: Darksiders III Will Unleash the Power of Fury’s Whips and Flails, Pre-order Now on Xbox One

Frost Large Image Games

Frost is a Deck-Building Game Almost 10 Years in the Making

Frost is a game about groups of wanderers on a planet where a permanent freezing storm restlessly revolves around the world. I got this core idea a while ago, circa 2010. At that time, I was working with a partner and we were looking for fresh game concepts. My initial idea was for a game in which you would pilot an ornithopter, inspired by the “Dune” saga, on a frozen world, rescuing stranded people. There were many issues with this concept, so I let it rest. Later, I thought this overarching universe was worth a game, so I started brainstorming for gameplay that would work well with it. Around 2011, I created a prototype that featured exploration in a procedurally generated... Read more: Frost is a Deck-Building Game Almost 10 Years in the Making
