Nordic Games has officially announced Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition, a complete remaster of Darksiders 2 that will hit consoles this Winter. The publisher has also hinted that a sequel - Darksiders 3 - may be in the works.

The Deathinitive Edition includes the following:

  • Darksiders 2 with All DLCs included and integrated into the game, offering a total playtime of more than 30 hours: (Maker Armor Set, The Abyssal Forge, The Demon Lord Belial, Death Rides, Angel of Death, Deadly Despair, Shadow of Death, Mortis Pack, Rusanov’s Axe, Van Der Schmash Hammer, Fletcher’s Crow Hammer, Mace Maximus, Argul’s Tomb)
  • Improved Graphic Render Engine for higher visual quality especially in terms of lighting and shadows
  • Improved and reworked level, character and environment graphics
  • Running in native 1080p resolution
  • Reworked and tuned game balancing and loot distribution

The Deathinitive Edition is being developed by Gunfire Games, a studio that is almost entirely made up of former Vigil Games employees(The original Darksiders team.)

“We took over the franchise roughly 2 years ago and thought about the next chapter for Darksiders ever since then,” said Nordic Games business and product development director Reinhard Pollice. “Naturally (and extremely excitedly!), there will be a large-scale project based on Darksiders, but for now it is very important for us to take care of the existing games and make those available to a broader audience. Bringing Darksiders II to current gen was a logical step for us and the team at Gunfire Games know their trade inside-out, so we easily and quickly had lots of ideas that we wanted to realize for this specific edition.”

Gunfire Games founder and president David Adams adds, “It feels good to be working on Darksiders again, after a couple of years of hiatus. This project is a great opportunity for us to pick up where we left off two years ago and dig deeper into the game, which is close to all our hearts. Bringing the definitive Darksiders II experience to life is something that we hope a lot of people will enjoy and look forward to.”

Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition will be launching on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One this winter, and hopefully if everything goes according to plan, there will be a Darksiders 3 announcement sometime in the near future.
