Darksiders 2 release date announced
Pre-order bonuses revealed. New trailer released.
Darksiders 2 launches on 29th June for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, THQ has announced.
Pre-order from GAME, Gamestation and Gamestop in Ireland and you'll get the Death Rides pack. This includes side-quests in the Maker's Realm and Dead Plains areas. Here, you can earn additional experience and loot. You get to aid an ancient Construct, battle The Bloodless and retrieve Karn's lost treasure. THQ said today the content amounts to around two hours of gameplay.
Pre-order with Amazon.co.uk and you get the Deadly Despair pack. This gives you a speed boost for Despair that acts as a permanent perk.
There's another pre-order bonus pack, called Angel of Death, but this is yet to be tied to a retailer. With this you get a unique set of enhanced armour with an angel inspired design, a pair of upgraded matching scythes, and an exclusive visual trail for your companion crow Dust.
In THQ's release no mention is made of the promised Wii U version, set for launch alongside the console later this year.
Screenshots of the Death Ride and Deadly Despair packs, and a new trailer, are below.
