The Darkness II (The Darkness 2) is the upcoming sequel to 2007's The Darkness. Instead of being developed by Starbreeze Studios, it will be developed by Digital Extremes and published by 2K Games. It will be released in late 2011 and be available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and for PC.[1]
Gameplay
The Darkness II takes place two years later in the life of Jackie Estacado, the wielder of the darkness; who is now the Don of the Franchetti crime family. He's been unable to shake the thoughts of his dead girlfriend Jenny since he contained his supernatural powers, and now the Darkness wants out. A sudden, unprovoked attack on Jackie’s life heralds the start of a full-scale mob war, which has clearly been orchestrated by some outside force. The attempt reawakens the Darkness, sending Jackie on a trip to hell and back as he discovers the mystery of the attack and motivations of the Darkness itself.
The Darkness II has similar gameplay as the the first game, but in the sequel there is a new tactic called "quad wielding". It allows Jackie to use his darkness powers while at the same time use firearms. The darkness powers differ from the prequel, as now the left one is used for devouring hearts from downed bodies and impaling objects (picking them up), which is guided with the right stick while the right one is used to slash and attack people, which is also guided with the right stick. Not much is known about the storyline, but this is all the information known right now.
