THQ have confirmed that Darksiders 2's story will take place in the same time period as the first game, only this time players will take control of the Horseman Death, instead of his brother War. The game will, also, take place in an entirely new area that has been confirmed to be about twice the size as the first.
And, this game goes to the must play list. With War, its pride. With death.. I think that perspective will change. Hope they will fix the rough edges that cramped the 1st game a bit.
Well, the story should begin where it ended in Darksiders , there were 3 more horseman coming and the Horseman wants to continue the war with the help of others.
Its a must play game with combination of things from various games. I am waiting for Darksiders II !
Info
The game will reportedly take place across an entirely new ensemble of maps, confirmed to be double in cumulative size to that of its predecessor. The game will also feature the remaining two horsemen (Fury and Strife) in some capacity. The game will take Death across multiple dungeons and city hubs. City hubs feature NPCs who can give out side quests etc. In the July 2011 issue of Game Informer, the cover feature details that one city hub will connect to a number of dungeons and that one city area will feature more dungeons than the whole of Darksiders I. Loot will also be included, dropping from encounters as rewards ranging from 12 different armor piece categories, which can have different enchantments and may power up Death's Wrath Powers.Also it has been confirmed that there will be an Angel area and a Demon area in the game both areas will have NPCs and merchants.
Darksiders 2 starts at nearly the same time as the start of the first Darksiders. After War is convicted and sent back to Earth by the Charred Council, they inform the other three Horseman of his fate. The Horseman Death, knowing that his brother War is the most honorable and incorruptible of the four, and would never have started the Apocalypse early, flies into a rage. Believing his brother is victim of a conspiracy, Death defies the Council's orders and sets out on a personal mission to find proof of his brother's innocence. Death travels to the Nether Realms, a place between Heaven and Hell, to call in favors from powerful beings that rule the realm. Death thinks the only way he can prove his brothers innocence is to resurrect the human race.
