Darksiders Hellbook Edition announced for PC

30 June 2010

THQ has confirmed that the previously delayed PC version of Darksiders will be available on 24 September 2010. The title will arrive in a special Hellbook edition of the game, which includes a comic book and art cards created by graphic novel artist and Darksiders creative director Joe Madureira, as well a soundtrack CD.

Darksiders was very well received when it launched on Xbox 360 and PS3 at the beginning of the year, so PC gamers can expect a treat. Darksiders is set in a Post-Apocalyptic demon-ravaged world where evil forces have prematurely brought about the end of the time. 

Originally sent to oversee the destruction of Earth, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have been betrayed by their master, stripped of their powers and cast down to Earth. Player’s take on the role of WAR – the first of the Four Horsemen – as he embarks on a brutal quest of vengeance against the forces that betrayed him with the help of his phantom steed RUIN.
