THQ has released a new trailer for the upcoming action/adventure Darksiders II.

The video rounds off the “Behind the Mask” series, which has given gamers a look at what’s been going on throughout the development of the game.

The latest video, Your Death, has a look at the loot system and skill trees to be found in Darksiders II, and the team at Vigil Games give some insight into how that will affect the gameplay.

The story of Darksiders II runs parallel to that of the original game, and while War is rampaging across an apocalypse-torn Earth, his counter-part Death will be working behind the scenes to uncover more of the hellishly insidious demonic plot to overthrow the heavens with Earth as the battleground.

Darksiders II is set to launch in August 2012, and if you want to know more about Darksiders II, check out the test of MyGaming’s Darksiders II coverage
