2K Games is pleased to reveal today the official release date of the much awaited sequel of The Darkness that was released on the early times of the XBox 360 and PlayStation 3.
In North America, Darkness fans can expect the sequel to hit the stores on October 4th while other regions in the world will have to wait until October 7th. According to 2K, The Darkness II will follow the story of the main character two years after the events of the first game. As Jack Estacado becomes the new Don of the family, he must master the Darkness and unravel that attacks that attacked him.
The Darkness II is a well of dark and imaginative violence that breaks from the traditional FPS conventions with its uniquely stylized gameplay. The fervid Quad-Wielding(TM) gameplay empowers players to slash, grab, and throw objects and enemies using ruthless Demon Arms, while simultaneously firing two weapons. Layered with intricate uses of dark versus light gameplay, the game engulfs players in a whole other level of sophisticated combat. Combined with a complex and twisted storyline, and stylistic violence that is visualized through a hand-painted graphic noir technique, The Darkness II harkens back to its roots of the comic book origins for fans and newcomers alike.
The Darkness II is expected to be shown at E3. We’ll be on the showfloor and give you guys an exclusive look of the game. Stay tuned.
