We&#8217;re not going to ship it before it&#8217;s done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He highlights the fact that the development process and getting both the Darksiders sequel and their upcoming South Park RPG project right is the main concern.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We can\u2019t afford to ship it until it\u2019s perfect&#8221; said Bilson.<\/p>\n<p>Darksiders II is currently lined up for a June 29 release, although we&#8217;ll gladly wait a little longer if THQ want to grind out the rough edges.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1
