As you know, Darksiders 3 is now available and even if you consider I'm a bit biased already I still would like to tell you that it's an awesome game! I'm not going to do a review but I simply would like you to know that all the key aspects of the previous 2 Darksiders games are in that one. Being able to make Darksiders 3 better than the previous 2 was in my opinion a humongous challenge but Gunfire Games and THQNordic overcame it perfectly! As a result, Darksiders 3 is for sure an excellent game choice for the holidays despite some glitches that should be solved anytime soon (Gunfire games has already released 2 patches).
OK, all that isn't another "simple" shout out for the game, but if you can remember it, I announced more than 1,5 years ago in the JoeMadArt.com update #15 that I decided not to include to the site the Darksiders 3 sketches that Joe Madureira did because I was expecting to see some better quality versions sooner or later... Well the time has come for those sketches to be added since some good versions were recently revealed by Joe!
You can enjoy below those Darksiders 3 sketches done by Joe Madureira:
Note: The "Deep Lurker" concept art was done for Darksiders 1 and was eventually included in Darksiders 3
Another big news for this month is the opening of the preorders for the Battle ChasersRed Monika 1/7th scale statue by Ihaztoys! That statue was sculpted by Jon Troy 'Hazardous' Nickel and designed by Joe Madureira. You can choose between the "Lite" Edition or the "Signature" edition. The second one is limited to 50 pieces (Soon sold out) and contains a "signed and numbered edition of the collectible and an exclusive signed print of a brand new pencil sketch of Red Monika from Joe Madureira!". Both versions are "expected to ship late 4th quarter 2019 early 1st Quarter 2020"!
The situation should change in January since Airship Syndicate announced in the Battle Chasers Nightwar Kickstarter update #47 that the new upgraded art book has now been printed and that the rewards will now be sent again (they were on hold until the book and the tees got printed).
In addition, Airship Syndicate also added some new rewards:
A Bigger Artbook in size (format) with more pages (152 up from 64)
A physical Instruction manual
Some Battle Chasers Nightwar stickers
Last cool thing this month is that Joe Madureira shared some cool exploration sketches he did some years back about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) and the Inhuman comic:
