The lights are on
Vigil and THQ is giving Darksiders II players the option to purchase a season pass for its DLC, but it's a little complicated. There are season pass options that are dependent on where you pre-order the game, and whether or not you get the collector's, limited edition, or just the regular version of the game. Here are the details straight from THQ:
There is a collector's edition of the game which is more expensive and includes the Argul’s Tomb DLC along with a Death statue and unique in-game armor and weapons. There is also a limited edition version of the game (which is included in the collector's edition) that can be obtained simply be reserving the game and doesn't cost extra. Some retailers have run out of the limited edition, so if you want one of those and haven't already reserved, you will have to head to ShopTHQ, THQ's online store. The limited edition of the game also includes the Argul’s Tomb DLC.
Vigil also added, to hopefully help with clarification, "All DLC content packs will ship post launch and are new content not originally intended for the main game."

THQ better pray that this game sells well.
I wanted the Collector's Edition, when i got to gamestop to pre-order the edition it was sold-out, when i arrived home i ran into my pc and search if there is anything left, there was nothing left. I really wanted this because i don't care what other people says about this game, i am a fan of this game, i am going to support THQ and those created Darksiders. Everyday i check if there is any Collector's Edition left but... still the same. I could buy it on ShopTHQ but my parents don't trust doing that online, "There could be hackers...".
Hey Kyle, the collectors edition comes with a Mask of Death, not a Death statue. And since I have the collector's preordered and paid off, do I get the season pass? I totally should.
I bought my Collector's edition from ShopTHQ. Guaranteed collector's edition, season pass for free, free shipping, and no sales tax. I'm in. I'm a sucker for a kick ace edition of the game. It better not be a Duke Nukem Forever. Only special edition that I regret buying, at least for the price.
This seems more complicated than it should be.
I'm glad it's discounted for those who will pre-order it. That's something Battlefield should have done when they said Premium people would get the pre-order maps but almost everyone already had it.
Saint's Row: The Third all over again. :/
Developers, please stop with all this confusing pre-order crap, it's getting downright tiring.
bit ott but still want this game now
Wow. So the best bet is to preorder from shop THQ?
My head hurts.
Meh. I'll wait a few months or so and get it on Amazon for $20.
Not exactly the most streamlined process but it still isn't all that bad. Just buy from ShopTHQ if you have the option.
*Sigh*
maybe i'm just a cynic (or maybe i saw how they handled SR3), but this hardly seems worth it. i distrust anyone trying to sell me something without showing me what it is.
i also find the disclaimer funny.
Personally don't agree with the business model of season pass, maybe because I like to know what I'm getting before I get
Glad to see they are doing DLC the right way.
Also, it's not a statue, it's Death's mask.
Um, hooray?
