A sequel to The Darkness, the favorably-received 2007 action title based on the comic of the same name, is in the works according to publisher Top Cow.

However, judging by comments made by Starbreeze CEO Johan Kristiansson, the studio that crafted the first game will not be involved in the new project.

The Darkness.
"I heard that there were talks about a Darkness sequel, but Starbreeze is not involved in anything like that right now," said Kristiansson to VG247. "We are busy on two projects together with EA."

No other details on the sequel are known at this time.

"This is the sort of stuff that happens when devs work on IP's they don't own."20 Comments
