2K Games today announced the pre-order initiatives for The Darkness II for all previously announced video game consoles and PC. From now until the title’s launch, gamers who pre-order The Darkness II will receive a free upgrade to the Limited Edition while supplies last. Launching on February 7, 2012 in North America and February 10, 2012 internationally, The Darkness II delivers a brutal and personal narrative as players take control of Jackie Estacado, head of a New York crime family and wielder of an ancient and ruthless force of chaos and destruction known as the Darkness.

The Darkness II Limited Edition includes:

  • Alternate darkling outfit: “Crazy Abdul”
  • Two character ability upgrades:
  • Gourmet Hearts: provides bonus for eating hearts
  • Relic Hunter: locates collectible items in the world
  • Custom illustration by Marc Silvestri

The Darkness II is the sequel to the million unit-selling 2007 title, The Darkness, and brings a unique new combat mechanic through Quad-Wielding, which will allow players to slash, grab, and throw objects and enemies with two Demon Arms while simultaneously firing two weapons. The game is layered with thematic elements of dark versus light, steeped in deep and twisted storytelling, and maintains the stylistic violence visualized through a hand-painted graphic noir technique, true to its comic book origins.
