For fans of post-apocalyptic games, there are few titles as biblically iconic as Darksiders. The action adventure game put players in the shoes of the Horseman of the Apocalypse for War and pitted them against angels and demons. Gameumentary on YouTube gathered the developers at Vigil Games for a Darksiders Documentary that tells an awesome tale of the unlikely birth of a franchise.

The documentary features the original core team of developers who came up with the idea. Viewers get to follow their journey from a pile of ideas to the near disaster pitch at E3 that was given to publishers. Whether you’re a fan of the game, interested in discovering the process of game development, or just love every aspect of gaming, the Darksiders documentary is one that certainly belongs on your radar. Check it out below:

The video above tells a passionate, personable, and a wholly interesting story about the creation of a franchise. Viewers get to see the original concepts, a far cry from what would be, and track the story all the way through Darksiders II. The Darksiders documentary gives fans and developers a firm look at the process in an interesting and fun way.

The Darksiders documentary also illustrates the eventual closure of Vigil Games. As THQ faced bankruptcy and auctioned off their assets, Vigil hung in the balance. The documentary does well to illustrate the journey of Darksiders and Vigil games, creating a journey that is informative, engaging, and filled with passion.
