THQ has finally uploaded some in-game footage of the forthcoming Darksiders 2 which is scheduled to be a launch title for Wii U as well as appearing on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The latest video talks about Death playing a pivotal role in Darksiders 2 as the main character and features plenty of exciting gameplay footage. Wii U is expected to launch after E3 in June.
I smell a Wii U blockbuster in the making!!!!! Look forward to that game at launch time. Iwata, Fils-Aime… prepare to drop the A-Bomb!!!!!!!

The wii u is going to be out this summer
it’s coming out for the 360 and ps3 so i think its coming out for those platforms during the summer, not Wii U.
it’s coming out for 360 and ps3 so i think it will be out for those platforms this summer, not for Wii U.
Summer seems like an ideal time for the Wii U’s release, but late summer, like August or something. Gives it time to be on shelves for a while and also for Black Friday and the holiday season.
I am also thinking that Wii U releases summer… all of the games will be ready by then
They said it comes out between E3 & the end of the year. November is the month it comes out. I know it, my friend is a shareholder.
After watching that, I think I’ll move Darksiders up in my backlog, though I still have 5 months to play and finish it.
Again, I noticed the Wii U logo wasn’t included at the end of that trailer. Wonder if that means the logo isn’t finalised since we do know the game has been confirmed as being released on Wii U.
The Wii u isnt finished with its certain steps of its development and is not rated by esbr. Thats why it wasnt in the console list at the end.
if thats your real name your awesome if not your just a annoying Face/Off fan. but still cool name.
No luck in it being my real name, nor do I have a brother named Pollux.
No comment on whether or not I can eat a peach for hours though. :-)
As for being annoying, I’ve been called worse.
I love that movie, and you sir, just made my day XD
It is confirmed for the Wii U. Why else would it be a launch title?
I wish the title didn’t include “For Wii U”, because I got excited to see some actually Wii U gameplay. I’m sure none of that gameplay was for WIi U and the trailer didn’t even mention Wii U anywhere :/
I assume that either THQ or Vigil Games are keeping it on the down-low for Nintendo’s sake. I’m sure they’ll surprise everyone when they make an appearance during Nintendo’s E3 presentation in June.
Nintendo is really smart. By keeping all Wii U info on the down low, all the hardcore Nintendo fans are getting really hyped, really fast. It would probably be a lot different if Nintendo released all their info at E3 2011.
Magi Cookie for you!
It was obviously gameplay from the PC version at high graphics settings.
Same. Got excited for nothing ¬.¬
I really hope this is not in-ge footage from the Wii U console. While it doesn’t look terrible, and it’s definitely looking better than the Wii, it’s barely passable as XBOX 360 graphics. Especially when you compare to the likes of Crysis 2 and Rage. It most certainly doesn’t look like something that is supposed to “far exceed” the XBOX 360 and PS3 in power.
That aside, it looks like a fun game to play. I just hope it takes more advantage of the Wii U’s rumored graphical powerhouse capabilities.
Agreed, it looks like something slightly worse than xbox 360 graphics
This didn’t look too graphically impressive to be honest. Also, this isn’t specifically Wii U footage, isn’t it…
I assume the in-game footage were taken from the Xbox 360.
I just assumed that THQ didn’t try too hard with the animation in this game, lol
the animation looks fine… it’s the textures everyone is whining about… and its such low res compressed image anyway… let’s wait for e3 to judge the Wii U version… also… this game is heavily stylized… it is more cartoony than realistic…
Since that footage wasn’t from Wii U, I find the title of the article very misleading.
Sorry, I wasn’t intentionally trying to be misleading. I was trying to highlight the fact that Darksiders 2 is coming to Wii U for those readers not in the know. I’m unaware of which platform this specific footage is from.
It’s no problem :)
Well, it’s definitely not for the Wii U. Pretty misleading title. :/
Are you more mislead or disappointed? Everyone here knows what was meant. The game looks great running on any platform its coming to regardless.
I agree that it’ll look great regardless. I wouldn’t, however, assume “everyone” here knows and understands what the title meant…as you can see from “everyone’s” comments. The title clearly informs the generalized audience that the footage is for the Wii U, which it isn’t.
Ok. You made a point. Now you’re just acting like a jackass by taking advantage of Sickr’s apology.
You’re right. I apologize. You’re the jackass though ;)
Wii U this summer!!!!….. HELL YEAH!!!!! :D! AND I’M GOING TO HAVE IT AT LAUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I’m very excited cause the Wii U will be the very first video game console I got at launch :D
I’m sick of reading about your excitment. Stop posting so much and get a live
So, I assume that this footage is not Wii U footage, and that the heading for the blog entry is mislabeled, right?
Yes, yes it is.
Definitely going to be a much better game than the first one. I’m happy I’m not controlling a ridiculously buff character this time around, I just hope they can make me care more about the story than the last time. While the art style is totally awesome, the graphics don’t push the current HD consoles, talk less of showcasing the WiiU’s.
Not even a logo. Im going to die on the road to e3 i swear. :/
and i will be dead with you
I hope that is very early development. Graphically it doesn’t look up to scratch just yet, perhaps touching the minimal standard for what the Xbox 360 can chug.
If the Wii U is destined to be more powereful, in processing power and graphics then I can see this game being a huge blockbuster.
With regard the graphics, was it not the devs for this game who said Nintendo wouldn’t let them show off the Wii U build of the game at E3 last year due to the fact it didn’t look good enough?
last year all they had was flat rainbow colored polygons running in engine… they hadn’t textured anything yet…
Yes. They said that they had a build ready to show off at E3 last year, but Nintendo decided not to show it. Smart move, btw, don’t want to let that cat out of the bag too soon.
I expect to see this game playable as a demo at this year’s E3.
Here:
“Probably makes pancakes” XD
1. Footage is from another system (most likely 360)
2. It says “to be a wii U launch title as well as appearing on the 360 and ps3. You seem to forget the game is being made primarily for ps3/360. From how the article has it worded it makes it out like the game is being made for wii u and ported to the others. But maybe thats just me.
It’s a Wii U launch title but it’s appearing on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 first.

Though it could be released simultaneously if Nintendo do decide to launch Wii U immediately after E3 in the summer.
A magi cookie for you! :3
Not like you care anyways winscar you won’t be getting a wiiu because you hate nintendo.
I was listening to this trailer more than watching, so I didn’t notice the lack of icon, but it sounds like they are building this game to be much more than a ps3 or 360 title. With the ‘depth’ they’re adding to the franchise, it sounds like something worthy of the Wii U audience.
Damn, I want this over Pikmin 3 if I pick up a Wii U.
inb4haterzcometrolling
Sickr.. you fooled me into believing that THQ had some sort of Wii U Darksiders 2 demo. You have no confirmation that this is in fact Wii U gameplay. Or do you? If so, please share it.
Got to get this game. Hopefully it will do really well on Wii U. I wonder if we can get a port of the first one as well.
LMAO @ the people bashing Wii U, saying the vid isnt on par with 360 graphics, when what ur looking at IS 360 graphics. Idiots.
I can get this game for my ps3 they only thing that will make me buy a wiiu on day one is pikmin 3
No matter how often I see things about this game and how awesome I think this game looks, it just doesn’t appeal to me.
I may buy it anyway though to support third parties.
This game looks too badass. It’s should be a launch title for the Wii U. Btw, Death is the strongest of all the horsemen in mythology. His power is inescapable. All of the other horsemen’s abilities lead to him. As long as there is life, there is death.
