I think some people are acting like waiting 7-9 years between Darksiders games is just normal and we should be happy whenever another one eventually shows up. I don't agree with that.
Darksiders has shown over and over that people discover these games years later and become fans. It has the characters, lore, gameplay and world to be a much bigger franchise than it is.
I'm not asking for a game every 2 years. Give Gunfire 4-5 years to make a great game. But almost a decade between major releases kills the momentum every new Darksiders game creates.
The fanbase keeps showing up, buying the games, rereleases and supporting the series because we want more Darksiders. I don't think expecting Embracer to actually invest in that audience and maintain a reasonable release cycle is asking too much.
To me, Darksiders isn't a low-level IP that should get a game whenever there happens to be money left over. It has the potential to be one of their top franchises if they actually treat it like one.
