Awakened by the End of Days, Death, the most feared of the legendary Four Horsemen, embarks upon a quest to restore mankind, and redeem his brother's name.




Darksiders 2 begins at nearly the same time as the start of the first Darksiders. After War is convicted and sent back to Earth by the Charred Council, they inform the other three Horseman of his fate.




The Horseman Death, knowing that his brother War is the most honorable and incorruptible of the four, and would never have started the Apocalypse early, flies into a rage. Believing his brother is victim of a conspiracy, Death defies the Council's orders and sets out on a personal mission to find proof of his brother's innocence. Death travels to the Nether Realms, a place between Heaven and Hell, to call in favors from powerful beings that rule the realm.

If it is not as monotonous as the first game I will pick this up. I really enjoyed the first game but the puzzles became so monotonous and boring that I never finished the game. Got right too the end and just gave up. Once that portal gun rip-off came into the game it got incredibly boring. was cool for the first time you had to do it and solve puzzles but then everything needed it and I just gave it a miss and traded it in.

So will def be interested in this if they revamp the style, it just slowed the game down too much for me.

@ Dp - Yeah that portal + tower Puzzle at the end of the game...grrr but other than that it was awesome!! Loved the fact that it took the best aspects of other quest adventure games (Soul reaver, Zelda, DMC + a few others) and pooled it together for one really good gaming experience!

Pfft pfft people, that portal gun puzzle section was awesome.

There should be an "Other" option for voting, as in "I wish this was a proper sequeal and not just the first game retold from a different vantage point."

I'm not writing it off, but I am gonna wait to see what is like before deciding whether or not to get it.

Oh what the hell, I'll probably get it anyway.

Awakened by the End of Days, Death, the most feared of the legendary Four Horsemen embarks on a quest to redeem his brother's name. Become the terrifying force which everything fears but nothing can escape. Death Lives!

Mmmm...
IMHO the first game just tried to cram to many different aspects into the gameplay. Some of the weapons and or power-ups get used once or twice, and trying to swop out three or four different powers mid battle got annoying.

I'll give this one a try, but I dont have high hopes...

On a side note, War and Death I can see, but a fighting game with Famine? Or pestillence?

First game got boring 2/3 through. It was the same thing every single section.

That said, I enjoyed it for what it was worth but it was nothing special. This looks better I will give you that.

Also, I do not recall having any of the gameplay problems mentioned so far. Puzzles and combat were pretty easy stuff.

Updated header post with some new images - Looking good - great colour pallete

On a side note from the first images, oh my god it's Raziel.

@ Death - I know - thought the same thing cause I love soul reaver - But thats what I like about Dark siders - yes it borrow's lots of gameplay idea's/ theme's from other games but it does it well and merges it all into a very enjoyable gameplay experience.

I can't wait for this, I will however start this game on the hardest difficulty it offers, the 1st one was a bit too easy imo on normal. Also, there were areas - the desert stage especially - where you use to run for quiet a long time and there was nothing to do, no enemies, no hidden objects etc, just pointless open spaces. They need to add into areas like that, either enemies or objects to find or something, they musn't over do it though, but they can either make areas like that shorter, or add to them, else you come out of an action packed area, then you run into boring areas doing nada, and kinda lose your hype, not cool. As I said, can't wait for this.

will you guys be bringing in the collectors edition of darksiders ? or is this not going to make to the S.A shores?

Cursman - its a USA exclusive


Breaking news from Darksiders.com
Once again we want to welcome you to the new Darksiders II website. Being a part of our community means you will be the first to know when new trailers, screenshots, announcements and updates around Darksiders II are released.

The rumor-mill has been churning with speculation recently, so we wanted to put it to rest first here with our core fans: Darksiders II will be moving to release globally in August 2012, rather than June as previously announced. It’s just a short delay, but we promise the game you’ll have in August will be well worth the wait!

This is great news for the team at Vigil, because it allows additional time for polish and to ensure that all aspects of Darksiders II meet the high-quality bar the team is targeting. In game development, more time is always a good thing for quality and the Vigil team is dedicated to providing the definitive Darksiders experience.

A brief Q&A on the date change is below for any questions that you might have: http://bit.ly/J2R0Qm

Questions & Answers:

Q.) When will the game be available in North America?
A.) Darksiders II is scheduled to be available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC in August of 2012. The release date will vary by region (as they did with a June release). The exact street dates will be issued for each region in the days to come.

Q.) Has the date been pushed back to tie in with Nintendo’s WiiU™ launch?
A.) The date was shifted to ensure we meet the high quality threshold that we are committed to achieving. It has nothing to do with any other platform releases.

Q.) Is Darksiders II being pushed back because of the recent layoffs at Vigil Games?
A.) No, the staffing changes at Vigil Games have not impacted the release date.

Q.) Is content going to be cut from the game?
A.) Definitely not! As we approached the game’s completion date, the team asked for more time to polish the huge amount of content included in this ambitious project. We are all committed to making Darksiders II the highest-quality game possible and the additional time will allow the team to do just that. The game content remains unchanged, as do our future DLC plans.

Q.) Are you truly pushing the date back to make Darksiders II a better game?
A.) Absolutely, that is the only goal fueling this decision. Nothing is more important to us than quality and thankfully our company’s current operational position allows us to make the right choice for Darksiders II.

Q.) Aside from getting it later, will this affect my pre-order?
A.) Definitely not, everyone who has/does pre-order Darksiders II will receive the Limited Edition at release, along with any associated retail exclusive content.

Q.) Will the game definitely release in August or will it be delayed again?
A.) This small delay is to allow additional time for polish and bug fixing. As we’ve stated in numerous articles and videos, Darksiders II is substantially larger game than its predecessor and the ambition of this project requires extra time to polish to the high standards that Vigil Games and THQ are committed to.

I dont mind the delay to be honest lol.

If the delay helps polish the game a little then I don't mind.

As long as it doesn't get delayed anymore, August is fine, plenty of time to kick the games @ss before AC3 comes out
