Publisher THQ Nordic and developer Gunfire Games have released yet another new chunk of Darksiders III gameplay footage, this time slowing down the game's hack-and-slash action, and exploring its environmental puzzles.

The new footage – provided by IGN – specifically features John Pearl (design director) and Richard Vorodi (lead level designer) of the aforementioned developer walking viewers through a section of Darksiders III where players must solve a variety of environmental puzzles in order to advance.

As the video reveals, unlike in previous installments, rather than having the game's bombs (which are used for solving environmental puzzles) be static, there are actually bomb bugs that move around the environment.

The mechanics involved in environmental puzzles will be familiar to Darksiders players, and are pretty straightforward when it comes to environmental puzzle design. It's obvious that the game's combat is the star of the show, but these type of puzzles do seem like they will provide not only a different challenge, but a nice mix-up between cutscenes and intense combat.

Darksiders III is in development for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, and is slated to release on November 27.
