Darksiders II has picked up a lot of hype since the game’s trailers have been releasing, and it’s all for good measure. The game looks amazing, and many players can barely wait to get the game into their own hands. Originally Darksiders II was supposed to land on store shelves simply in “June.” Now Vigil has announced the official release date, pitting the game to hit retail on June 26th of this year.
Darksiders II takes everything that was great about the first game and drastically expands upon it. We go from having a semi-small world to explore to now being faced with a brand new world that is many times bigger than the one we knew. The protagonist, Death, has many new tricks up his sleeve and a whole new storyline to experience. We’ve got faster combat, a wider array of enemies, and all-new weapons to use to our grim advantage.
I loved the first Darksiders and am especially excited about this sequel. An official release date means the game is near completion, and we don’t have too much longer to wait. If you haven’t checked out the first Darksiders game, this would be the perfect time to snag it. Then you’ll be ready to reap some souls when Death makes his entry as the playable character in the sequel this June.
