Darksiders II Delayed

It's been suspected that a delay might be coming for THQ's Darksiders II, and now it's official.

The game will now come out for Xbox 360, PC, and PS3 in August rather than June.

In a to-the-point FAQ, Vigil states that this is being done purely for polish reasons, dismissing the talk of layoffs, the Wii U version of the game that will appear at the console's launch, and more being factors in the decision.

  • NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
  • as long as its still a fantastic game in the end, i won't complain, but it kinda sucks everyone has to wait a little longer
  • Well, this just confirms my belief that nothing will ever release in June or July. *sigh* At least it's only a month delay.
  • WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wait if that means the game is going to be good im all for it! FTW! GOTY
  • It better be good if they're making us wait for LONGER.

  • Son of a *****!!!

  • Well i hope this extra time helps make the game better.
  • This is a Joke right!!
  • A lot of us saw this coming, and with what Vigil has been working at to expand the game, RPG skill progression & a large world while still trying to advance the combat & platforming, I think the extra time might do them some good to make most of the elements very polished.  August seems like a fair month, currently there's not much grasping for attention then for Darksiders to get lost in, just as long as it doesn't slip farther than that.

  • NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    F*CK!


    edit: one of the few games im actually buying this year, comes out at a perfect time for me, comes out in the middle(ish) of summer where NO good games get released, and what happens? it gets delayed. *bangs head on wall and starts playing minecraft*
  • Well at least now I have all summer to buy and play the first one.

  • Is it just me or does the lead character look alot like Skeletor from Masters of the universe?

  • eh it's only a couple months

  • I hope this game does well for THQ's sake, they are going down the toilet!
  • Nooooo

  • FRRRRAAAAAAAKK!! I'm going to have to wait two more months to play my most anticipated game of the year?! We live in a cruel, cruel world.
  • I'm glad they have decided to dedicate extra time to polishing. Those final details are extremely important...plus now I'll have some extra time to pummel the hellish hordes of Sanctuary.

  • I'm not normally all about graphics, but maybe they can use that time to touch up the environment imagery. The ground there almost looks like it belongs in the early PS2 era.

    Regardless, I loved the first game, and I'm glad they're taking the time to ensure the sequel is a quality work. I always did feel like Darksiders 1 could have used a little more polish.
  • As long as it's still a Wii U launch title, then I'm happy.
