This chapter in the series follows the exploits of Death, one of the four horsemen in a story that parallels the events of the first game. The story tells the tale of Death journeying through various light and dark realms as he tries to redeem his brother War, the horseman who was blamed for prematurely starting the Apocalypse.
The game features a dramatically larger world, full weapon and armour upgrade systems as well as bigger and more challenging dungeons and vast array of new enemies and bosses. According to Danny Bilson, Executive Vice President of Core Games: “We have taken the best parts of Darksiders and improved on them with a host of new mechanics and features. You will see great things from this epic game.”
Bilson had hinted at a Darksiders II announcement in a few tweets. The cover of Game Informer will reportedly feature the game as well.
