THQ Announces Darksiders II

War will be on the sidelines for this sequel.

It's time for Death to have his turn. After playing as War in the original Darksiders, THQ announced today that gamers will become another member of the four horsemen of the apocalypse when Darksiders II launches in 2012 -- Death himself.

Running parallel to the events in the original, Darksiders II will follow Death on his journey through realms of light and dark as he tries to redeem his brother War -- the horseman wrongly accused of prematurely starting the apocalypse in Darksiders.


"We have taken the best parts of Darksiders and improved on them with a host of new mechanics and features," THQ Core Games boss Danny Bilson said in a statement. "You will see great things from this epic game."

Some of those new mechanics and features include a dramatically larger world, full weapon and armor upgrade systems, larger dungeons, and a wide array of new enemies and bosses.

More details are set to be revealed in the next issue of Game Informer, which will feature Darksiders II as its cover story.

Darksiders II is being developed for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PCs. THQ did not specify a release date beyond calendar 2012.
