About Darksiders III
Return to an apocalyptic planet Earth in Darksiders III, a hack-n-slash action adventure where players take on the role of FURY in her quest to hunt down and dispose of the Seven Deadly Sins. The Charred Council calls upon Fury to battle from the heights of heaven down through the depths of hell in a quest to restore humanity and prove that she is the most powerful of the Horsemen. As a mage, FURY relies on her whip and magic to restore the balance between good and evil. The expansive, Darksiders III game world is presented as an open-ended, living, free-form planet Earth that is dilapidated by war and decay, and overrun by nature. FURY will move back and forth between environments to uncover secrets while advancing the Darksiders III story. More on Darksiders III here http://darksiders.com

Though this can also mean that the game might be better than the previous 2 in other areas. New management and all that it entails. However, Joe Madureira said he's keeping a close eye on the game's development and will help any way he can so that the game is as great as it can be.
From IGN's article:
"Gunfire Games' development team includes multiple ex-Vigil Games employees who worked on Darksiders and Darksiders 2, including the Game Director, Executive Producer, Technical Director, Lead Environment Artist, and more."

Joe Madureira's Tweet about Darksiders 3 (one of many):
"No, I'm not directly involved in DS3. Worked on Fury's concept, but that's all 4 now. Purely a @gunfire_games joint! It will rock! Trust! <3"
"That said, we are close with GF and @THQNordic and they know they have our full support any time! Huge congrats to all involved!"

I still think it will be a fun game. It's just uglier than I hoped.
It's great to see another Darksiders game once more! the graphics though, looks like a nicer looking last gen game.
"Players will control Fury, the mage of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse."
Glad that this was cleared up, contrary to others saying she isn't a horsemen, more proof.
