THQ’s Danny Bilson has confirmed with VG247 that Darksiders 2 is scheduled for release in June 2012, and that Metro: Last Light should be out “next summer”, so roughly a year from now.
Darksiders 2 is the direct sequel to Darksiders: Wrath of War which was one of 2010’s early sleeper hits, earning a Metacritic score of 83/100. We gave it 85/100, and Tarryn had this to say about it:
Where games that rob ideas from other games usually fail at making each part work properly together, Darksiders pushes this paradigm with reckless brutality. Technically derivative, the game manages to pull it all off with such elegance, ingenuity, and style that it doesn’t matter. It’s ultimately very much its own game. Aside from a somewhat tedious penultimate chapter and a couple of serious glitches (see below), Darksiders explodes fun all over the carpets from start to finish, and the inevitable sequel really can’t get here fast enough.
Darksiders 2 is being released on PC, PS3, Xbox 360, and later on, Nintedo’s new WiiU console.
