Strife and fury?
the four horsemen are
Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death
i hope the this game sold well, so they do make a third and fourth game
In "Pop culture" Conquest is replaced with Famine (Known as the White Horse). I while ago I read that Fury and Strife had their own interpretation, but I can't remember which exactly.
The first horseman and rider of the white horse is normally known as Conquest.[1] However, whenever the Four Horsemen concept appears in popular culture, the first horseman is most often identified as Pestilence instead. This identification with disease is due to the horseman carrying a bow, whose arrows were identified with Apollo and Artemis. In Greek stories, illnesses were believed to be caused by their arrows. The horseman is also often identified with plague for this reason
. Darksiders deviates from both names, opting instead to call him Strife. Instead of a bow, the horseman's version in Darksiders appears to have had his weaponry updated, though he still fires projectiles
It should also be noted that there are two interpretations of the Four Horseman. The biblical interpretation labels the horsemen Conquest, War, Famine and Death. The interpretation used most often in popular culture including the famous woodcut by Albrecht Dürer, consists of Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death. Other than War and Death, the other horsemen, in either interpretation, were cut and replaced with Fury and Strife. Although Fury has no close resemblance to her corresponding horseman Famine, Strife slightly resembles Conquest. Conquest is designated to depict internal conflict, similar to Strife. The word strife, however is more closely related to War.
