Darksiders II Has Date, Pre-Order Incentives

Darksiders II Has Date, Pre-Order Incentives

None

We’d known Death was taking to his horse in June , but THQ had yet to provide a specific date, their apocalyptic sequel still held deep in development. Now, though, the publisher has not only provided a scheduled release date for the action-adventure-RPG mash-up, but details on a series of pre-order bonuses as well. These bonuses are, as has depressingly become the norm, retailer specific. From the game’s community website:

Gamestop: ‘Death Rides’ Pack – Features multiple exclusive side quests allowing players to explore more of the Maker’s Realm and Dead Plains. In addition players will be able to aid an ancient Construct, battle The Bloodless and retrieve Karn’s lost treasure.

Best Buy: ‘Angel of Death’ Pack – Features enhanced armor with an angel-inspired design as well as a pair of matching scythes. In addition, players will receive an exclusive purple colored visual trail for their crow.

Amazon: ‘Deadly Despair’ Pack – Features an additional speed boost for Death’s horse Despair that allows players to traverse the world at a much faster rate.



Interesting, indeed, that GameStop’s bonus is the only one that promises anything in the way of actual gameplay. A touch of favoritism, perhaps? Decide for yourself when the game hits the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on June 26.
