2K Games Announces The Darkness 2

2K Games has announced The Darkness 2 for Xbox 360, PC and PS3 coming this Autumn.

As it was previously rumored the follow-up will be developed by Digital Extremes and not original developer Starbreeze.

In The Darkness 2, Players will retake the role of Jackie Estacado on what 2K terms a “brutal and personal path” and again wield the destructive power of The Darkness.

2K says that the game will be “layered with the use of dark versus light, steeped in deep and twisted storytelling, and engulfed in stylistic violence that is visualized through a hand-painted graphic noir technique that stays true to its comic book origins”.

Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K commented: “The Darkness II is a well of dark and imaginative violence, and it’s a stylized and beautiful nightmare. It continues the 2K Games tradition of delivering quality, innovative games that are filled to the brim with atmosphere and deep storytelling.

“The game takes a unique stance on fighting in the dark versus light. Combined with the arsenal of weapons at Jackie’s disposal and the gruesome attacks of the supernatural Demon Arms and Darkness powers, we’re proud to announce another title that delivers on our core values of creating games for gamers.”
