So why does Elden Ring have many similarities with the Darksiders saga? I mean, several humongous trees, plenty of loot, evil monsters and angels, crazy heroes, and more. Many of the cutscenes in Darksiders 3 give the player some hint about what is being worked in the back scenes by FromSoftware's Elden Ring. Somehow the developers found out about the atrocity committed by FromSoftware, not to diminish their outstanding work, yet to fairly mention the inspiration about the source of some of their inspiration.
First of all, one important aspect of the Horsemen is that War and Fury both landed on Earth, with flames, creating a crater of some sort. In Elden Ring, some of the most despicable bosses are actually from space. The games are pretty much the opposite of each other. Darksiders has the mythical 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse to portray the heroes, while Elden Ring offers aliens as the ultimate boss fights, some even harder than some Darksiders boss fights (while playing in apocalypse difficulty).
The first Elden Ring hint I noticed in Darksiders 3 was in the Lust boss fight. Lust was trying to fool Horseman Fury, and came up with a vision showing Strife telling Fury about the conspiration works against them. Seems the devs were telling the players ahead of time about a game that was going to try to fool them. Strife mentioned: "Most importantly, we have exposed a great conspiracy..." Later in the dialogue War said: "Heaven and hell working in secret consort, to bring about the apocalypse earlier than anyone would wish for...".
In the video above, Abraxis also hints Dung Eater and Miquella's Consort. Seems both games have been competing against each other.
