If the first Darksiders was Vigil's take on the Zelda formula, then perhaps Darksiders 2 is their take on Shadow of the Colossus? This new "all gameplay" Darksiders 2 trailer shows Death, the most feared horseman of the Apocalypse, beating down baddies to try to save the human race from extinction and redeem his brother, War. You'll get to see him riding horseback towards giant bosses--and that's generally a good thing.
Requisite for all big-budget games these days is DLC. However, THQ's upcoming action adventure title, Darksiders 2, promises to have enough to warrant a DLC Season Pass.
The Darksiders 2 Season Pass will let gamers pre-purchase all three planned add-ons for a discounted rate. All three expansions promise "significant new single player content," with the first being available roughly one month after the game ships. The second and third packs are planned to drop every month afterwards.
The horsemen cometh, but they cometh a little slower than you thoughteth. Darksiders 2 has been delayed until August, following some telltale comments from executive VP Danny Bilson that started churning the rumor mill. The announcement claims this will give the game "additional time for polish and to ensure that all aspects of Darksiders 2 meet the high-quality bar the team is targeting."
Between layoffs, the threat of a NASDAQ delisting, and a lawsuit, it's safe to say THQ has had its share of difficulties over the last several months. More is riding on the publisher's current portfolio than usual, and now it's trying to polish its tent-pole titles to perfection.
We haven't yet seen a good demonstration of the Wii U's pixel-pushing prowess, and probably won't until it's been out for several years, but developers are having mixed results. Darksiders II developer Vigil Games, at least, is getting about the same performance out of Wii U as from current consoles, it's said.
Have you pre-ordered Darksiders 2 yet? Congratulations, you've been upgraded to the Limited Edition. THQ announced today that the LE is coming at no additional cost for all pre-orders, past and future. The company also announced a separate Collector's Edition, which will pack more bonuses for "around $99."
THQ had announced a June release window for Darksiders 2. Now, it's revealed a specific date: June 26th for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.
As expected, Darksiders 2 will have a variety of retailer-exclusive pre-order bonuses. GameStop, for example, will offer the "Death Rides" pack (pictured above), which features multiple "exclusive" side-quests across the Maker's Realm and Dead Plains adding up to two hours of gameplay content.
Every cloud has a silver lining, as they say. If you were upset by the news of a Metro: Last Light delay from a THQ earnings report, take heart. The same report also confirmed Darksiders 2 will be coming in June.
Death is an impatient soldier. Unlike his brother--the strategist War--Death takes no pause. He quickly dispatches all foes, and never utters a word of satisfaction. He is stoic, lead designer Haydn Dalton told me. "He just wants to get sh-t done," Dalton said.
An early look at Darksiders 2 featured Death navigating through a colorful, living, underground cavern. It is a far cry from the first game's muted and bleak surroundings. Bubbling lava squirts into the air, fountains of fire stream throughout the world.

Despite revolving around the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Darksiders 2 won't feature a co-op mode to ride alongside your fellow harbingers of doom. But as game director Marvin Donald told IGN, the absence of multiplayer comes from the technical difficulty of such an undertaking, and Vigil Games would love to include it in the next installment.

It seems the plan at THQ and Vigil Games is to tease players a few extra seconds every time they mention Darksiders 2 in public.
Today, the publisher and developer have released a new version of the game's announcement trailer. The "extended" trailer adds a few extra seconds of footage to the game's original announcement trailer.
