The Darkness 2 Exists!

If you go through our entire back catalog (please don't) you'll notice that my first article EVER was over the Darkness and how much I loved it. While it wasn't perfect, it's one of the few games I pick up and play through again every now and then. It just never gets old for me. I always wanted a sequel, but the original came out in 2007 and since then I had only heard one mention of a follow up. Well, it looks like it's actually coming along AAAAND it's supposed to come out fall of this year. Cue happy bloggers.

The game is said to be set two years after the events of the first one. Unlike the first game, where Jackie fought against the mobsters who betrayed him to avenge his girlfriend, he is now the new Don of the Franchetti crime family. He will have to, once again, keep his powers in check while also waging a crime war.


The only thing that slightly unsettles me is that the original developer, Starbreeze, won't be handling the game. However, it has been put in the very capable hands of Digital Extremes so I'm not panicking or anything. Our collective eyes are most definitely on this one.
