Nearly a decade after its last update, Darksiders Warmastered Edition gets a photo mode and motion controls in a surprise new patch
After more than nine years without updates, Darksiders Warmastered Edition received a surprise patch adding photo mode, motion aiming controls, and various bug fixes. The unexpected update marks a significant moment for the remastered action game, which has otherwise remained dormant through multiple hardware generations.
The timing of the patch appears connected to recent developments at Embracer Group, which announced a major corporate restructuring involving the reallocation of various studios and properties, including the Darksiders franchise. Concurrent with this news, Darksiders launched on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S this week, suggesting renewed publisher commitment to the franchise.
The addition of modern features like photo mode and motion control support reflects contemporary gaming standards and expands accessibility. The patch signals active interest in maintaining the Darksiders experience beyond the original release, potentially indicating broader strategic initiatives for the franchise under its new corporate structure.
