THQ is still very much in love with Darksiders as a franchise and has future plans for it, despite the fact that a comment earlier during the week suggested otherwise.

On the Facebook official page for Darsiders, Jason Rubin, who is the leader of THQ, has stated, “A quote from a recent interview I did has been reported out of context by a number of news outlets. The quote implied that I am not enthusiastically behind the Darksiders universe, and that THQ has made decisions not to continue the Darksiders franchise. This is simply untrue."

He added, “I’m incredibly excited about Vigil and the Darksiders franchise. Keep your eyes peeled on Monday for an awesome new trailer that brings the world to life in a way you haven’t seen before!”

Darksiders should be out on August 14 in North America on the PC, the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, with a Wii U version arriving when the Nintendo console is finally out.
