Nordic Games has announced that Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will be released on October 27.
As previously reported, the Deathinitive Edition of Darksiders 2 includes a number of enhancements over the last-generation version of the action-horror title, including remastered 1080p visuals, various gameplay tweaks, improved lighting and textures, plus all available DLC in one box.
"It’s rare that as developers we get the opportunity to revisit one of our previous games," commented Design Director, John Pearl. "The passage of time and the numerous games we’ve worked on since Darksiders II shipped has allowed us to return to it with a fresh perspective. With that said, we went back to what is a huge game and addressed things we didn’t have time for or didn’t notice the first time. We started by revisiting every asset in the game, increasing the texture resolutions and brought the art up to spec to take full advantage of the new lighting and rendering.
"Darksiders II has a lot of DLC in the form of weapons, armor and unique locations. These pieces of DLC which felt separate from the main campaign have now been integrated into the game and rebalanced accordingly. Lastly, we’ve addressed much of the feedback we received after the game’s release in regards to balance and bugs. With all these changes, this is truly the Definitive Edition of Darksiders II."
Darksiders 2 was originally released on PS3, PC and Xbox 360 in 2012. Be sure to read our review of the game if you haven’t already done so.
