The Apocalypse Hits North American Retail Stores with the Launch of Darksiders II


THQ Inc.’s critically-acclaimed Darksiders II, the highly-anticipated sequel to Darksiders, is now available at North American retailers for the Xbox 360 videogame and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC.

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.”
