“A very important point for us is not to dash into several self-financed multi-million dollar projects right away, but rather to continue our in-depth analysis of all titles and carefully selecting different financing models for developing new instalments of acquired IPs. In the long term, we either want to cooperate with the original creators or best possible developers in order to work on sequels or additional content for these titles.” - CEO Lars Wingefors

Bringing on some of the Darksiders team for a sequel only seems right. I wouldn't be too comfortable with another entry in the series that didn't have some input from the team that birthed it.
