The Darkness 2 will be released on Xbox 360, PC and PS3 in the autumn, 2K Games has announced.

As previously rumoured, the game will be developed by Digital Extremes and based on Top Cow Productions' supernatural horror comic book series.

Players take the role of as Jackie Estacado on what 2K terms a "brutal and personal path". Jackie wields the destructive power of The Darkness.

2K promises that The Darkness II "breaks out of the sea of conventional first-person shooters with its fervid Quad-Wielding gameplay". This allows players to slash, grab, and throw objects and enemies with their Demon Arms while simultaneously firing two weapons.

Yeah I just read this. Cool news. I loved the first game.

I just hope they don't have a completely SH*T multiplayer like the first game which was a lagfest. ugh...

I hope they re-cast Mike Patton.

I hope they re-cast Mike Patton.

It would be stupid not too. I can't think of anyone else who could give The Darkness as much gravity as Patton did.

I noticed his absence in Left 4 Dead 2. I'd really miss it in The Darkness 2. It was more than just zombie screams.

Woohoo! Can't wait

LOVED the first one, except for the multiplayer, for reasons already stated.

Also, effing quad wielding!!!!

<Spawn looks at the original sitting on his "to play" shelf, shrugs, and goes back to playing Sly Cooper>

the first darkness i enjoyed alot, i dont remember how i picked it up but i did and the story was great. the game play was ok just like any other shooter i thought. im not sure what they are gonna do in the story this time around though. but ill definatley check it out

This is awesome news. And from the looks of the screenshot, the game may be much more polished than the first. The Darkness was an interesting game with an awesome story and PS2-like graphics. lol

Sounds like great news! I'm glad I gave the first one it's due chance ( with a little prodding ) . And yes, Mike Patton best be the voice.

Hopefully the story will be as good as the first. Its not the same developer though. I'll wait and see.

Never finished the 1st one. Not sure why.
