The Darkness 2 Revealed.

2K Games has officially announced a sequel to the 2007 hit The Darkness. It'll be coming to the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in Fall 2011. Digital Extremes shall be its developer.

The sequel will boast a "hand-painted art graphic noir" visual style, a "ruthless" story and "quad-wielding combat," which sounds pretty damn awesome, at least on paper.

Check below for plot details. Exciting news!

It?s been two years since Jackie Estacado, now the Don of the Franchetti crime family, used The Darkness to kill the men responsible for his girlfriend?s murder. He?s been unable to shake the memory of Jenny?s death since bottling up his supernatural power, and now The Darkness wants out. A sudden, unprovoked attack on Jackie?s life heralds the start of a full-scale mob war, which has clearly been orchestrated by some outside force. The botched attempt opens the door for The Darkness to reemerge, and sets Jackie on a journey to hell and worse, as he unravels the mystery behind the attack and the motivations of The Darkness itself.

I didn't see it from search or in news, and I knew some people wished for a sequel...

 

[Vulg]

Great news. I really enjoyed the first game even if it was a little easy.
Hopefully they'll add more of the Darkness' powers this time such as his armour and such from the comic.

 

[Levi93]

Awesome!Another game to add to my list for this year!

 

[Wayneguard]

I want more surreal world war 1 trench warfare that was honestly the best part of the first darkness if only for the visual style.

 

[Spacewolf]

wonder what happened after the end of the previous game?

 

[Ultress]

Awesome,loved the first hope they make some improvements to the bland gunplay and make a visible meter to tell how much darkness power you had left.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Oh color me interested. Now all we need is a 5th Hitman.

YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


one of my favourite games, I wouldn't have minded if they didn't make a sequel because the ending was fine. but this is just fantastic news...

 

[CoL0sS]

Hahaha few minutes ago, on another topic I posted how there was some talk about sequel on San Diego Comic-Con. Glad to see it's official. Now if I could only get my hand on first one.

 

[PurpleLeafRave]

You have made my day.
Let me change my pants...

There we go. One of the most amazing and emotional games I have ever played.
It and Lost Odyssey are the only two games that have made me shed a tear

Can't wait!

...wait a second:

Spoiler

I thought that at the end of the game in killing the mob boss (forgot the name) that was, in a way, the final stage of The Darkness taking over Jackie? Why is it suppressed?

 

[meglathon]

can't wait, bought the original week of launch and loved it, i even played through on hard mode,(which to be fair was not that challenging) and the story was pretty good.

 

[SteakHeart]

...Quad-wielding?

*Head explodes*

More than likely, they will do what they did when you got shot... he went through and found a way to "override" the darkness.

 

[Mr. Eff_v1legacy]

Sounds good. I was skeptical about the first one, but I really liked it.
The bits in Hell were done really well.

 

[Frotality]

sounds like its leaning more towards the basic plot of the comic, in which case weve many awesome new darkness powers and demon/ angel wars ahead of us.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

You had me at "quad wielding".

I think my brain is having an orgasm just thinking about that.

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

YESSSS! I never thought they'd make another The Darkness! This just made my day! Even if I do have an art appreciation test in an hour

 

[Xerxesrogue]

Both Silent Hill Downpour AND a new The Darkness game this fall??
This promise me one fine year fellows

 

[parasyteFMA]

Pretty excited. The Darkness took up so much of my time. Beat it twice and play the crap out of the multiplayer. The multiplayer was glitched to all hell but I still enjoyed it.
