In Darksiders II players assume the role of Death, the most feared of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, in an action-adventure game nearly four times the size of its predecessor. Faster gameplay, deep skill trees and a new loot system all build upon the strengths of the original, allowing players a wide variety of character development and customization options.
Darksiders II is available for the suggested prices of U.S. $59.99 (Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3) and U.S. $49.99 (PC). Darksiders II also will be available for Nintendo's Wii U entertainment system later this year.
"Darksiders II goes over the top with an incredible, sprawling experience for fans of action-adventure games," said Jason Rubin, President, THQ. "By combining customizable role-playing game elements with intense combat and vast worlds to explore, THQ's Vigil Games has created a masterpiece that's packed with replayability, featuring all new combos, weapons and play styles for fans to enjoy."
