Something Funky Is Going On With Darksiders II

THQ previously announced it was shipping Darksiders II in June. Now, that might not be the case anymore.

In a recent interview with Ripten, VP of Core Games Danny Bilson was asked about the possibility of the game being delayed past its June 26 date due to the recent restructuring and subsequent layoffs at THQ. He responded saying, "We haven’t announced anything… but the team is working really, really hard. We’re not going to ship it before it’s done."

A THQ PR representative during the interview was also unable to comment on the release date.

Game Informer followed up with the publisher and was told, "No new announcements have been made at this time."

So, there you go. Darksiders II was officially announced for June 26. But now the publisher refuses to comment on if it's still happening. We'll hopefully know more as we get closer to E3 in June.

  • they're rrestructuring?
  • It better not be cancelled!
  • I Don't mind waiting as long as it gets finished and better :)
  • hmmm... funky indeed...

  • They laid off people currently working on a title? Is that what I'm understanding?
  • Waiting for the WiiU maybe?
  • I hope this doesn't get delayed its one of the few games i am looking forward to this summer
  • As long as it's still a WiiU launch title I'm okay with the delay.
  • It's probably getting a new launch date so it aligns with the Wii U launch date, what with THQ's recent saga. That'd be pretty cool, actually.
  • Ben Reeves in the April mag did say the game felt like it needed some extra polish, so perhaps that is all this will lead to. I personally don't mind a delay at all if it means the final product will be better because of it and Darksiders II sounds quite large and ambitious so it might do the team some good.
  • please for the love of god don't be delayed.......

  • its prob due to the Wii-U and its new funky controls. just release it for the PS3 and Xbox on time and we'll all be happy.
  • Yes!!!!!!!!!!

  • I wonder if they have started it were it left off from the first one?
  • For shame, a game being delayed that I didn't even know about. . .
  • Man that would suck if it was cancelled. It looked like it was pretty far in development.
  • That's certainly foreboding...

  • This does not bode well... Hope THQ can survive long enough to get this game out.

  • Looks like THQ really doesn't want to be in the gaming industry anymore.
