yeah he said it a bit before 3's release according to the first paragraph of thisI don't recall that, just armchair analysts losing their shit about it "bombing" saying Darksiders was dead as a series again at the time. It's easier for game devs to make back money through other avenues nowadays regardless. Hitman 2 "bombed" and IO Interactive are already making the next one. Yakuza series sales have been dropping in Japan for years now and they aren't stopping. I think 4 is inevitable, it's what comes after that's a mystery (or if Suzuki feels pressured into completing the series with 4 or not).
Darksiders 4 All But Confirmed From Performance Of DS3
Prior to the release of Darksiders 3 CEO of Gunfire Games mentioned that he would be happy if 100,000 copies were sold and that he would look into making Darksiders 4.

Hitman 2 on the other hand, I have no fucking idea how that one managed to get a sequel but I am eternally grateful cause those recent games are incredible and dare I say even topped blood money. I think those are a bit of a odd example of survival more so than success though, cause hitamn 6(2015, hitman, fuck this naming convention) was a legit flop and cost square millions, which resulted in IO narrowly surviving closure laying off close to half its staff and only last minute getting a deal with WB. Then hitman 2 cut corners on stuff I guess to thankfully keep its budget alot lower than we expected, most noticibly being the unfortunate loss of those cinematics being turned into a slideshow.
