Waiting In The Shadows

If you were looking forward to The Darkness 2 then you'll have to look forward a little further. It would seem that the sequel to 2007's quad-wielding shooter based on a graphic novel has been delayed a few months and will now be stepping into the light come February next year. This means it will no longer release around the same time as many other gaming heavyweights such as CoD, Battlefield and Skyrim but rather extend out the xmas release schedule along with Final Fantasy XIII-2 which is now confirmed to be releasing in January.

The Darkness Returns

The Darkness came out a long time ago and while it wasn't one of the most well received games, i actually rather enjoyed it, and i know a lot of other people who did too. Well, luckily for me (and any one else who liked it) The Darkness 2 has now officially been announced and it will be coming our way before the year is through. The Darkness 2 will see the return of Jackie Estacado, who is now the don of the Franchetti family. After an assassination attempt, the Franchetti's are thrown into an all out mob war, which isn't helped by The Darkness deciding it wants out of the symbiotic relationship it shares with Jackie. Digital Extremes are taking over development, replacing Starbreeze, who done a fantastic job on the first game. The Darkness 2 will also be taking on a new look as the style changes to a more hand drawn look to closer match that of the comic series the game is based on. Keep an eye out for The Darkness 2, hitting shelves at the end of the year.
