Darksiders 2 is officially coming back from the dead this winter thanks to publisher Nordic Games and developer Gunfire Games.

In development for the PS4 and Xbox One, Darksiders 2 Deathinitive Edition will follow the same pattern as other remastered releases. SO we’re talking enhanced visuals, 1080p resolution, all the DLC, and some gameplay tweaks.

Check out the first batch of screens and read on for the details.

Darksiders 2 Deathinitive Edition screens:

Nordic Games today announced that the Darksiders 2 Deathinitive Edition will come to current-gen consoles this winter.

The Deathinitive Edition will be a visually updated version of Darksiders 2, including all DLCs (Maker Armor Set, The Abyssal Forge, The Demon Lord Belial, Death Rides, Angel of Death, Deadly Despair, Shadow of Death, Mortis Pack, Rusanov’s Axe, Van Der Schmash Hammer, Fletcher’s Crow Hammer, Mace Maximus, Argul’s Tomb) and running in native 1080p resolution. In addition to the graphic upgrade, adjustments to the game balancing and loot distribution have been made. The entire project is in the experienced hands of Gunfire Games, where nearly all staffers have already been working at Vigil Games and on Darksiders in the past.

Reinhard Pollice, Business & Product Development Director at Nordic Games: “We took over the franchise roughly 2 years ago and thought about the next chapter for Darksiders ever since then. Naturally (and extremely excitedly!), there will be a large-scale project based on Darksiders, but for now it is very important for us to take care of the existing games and make those available to a broader audience. Bringing Darksiders 2 to current gen was a logical step for us and the team at Gunfire Games know their trade inside-out, so we easily and quickly had lots of ideas that we wanted to realise for this specific edition.”

“It feels good to be working on Darksiders again, after a couple of years of hiatus”, comments David Adams, founder and president of Gunfire Games. “This project is a great opportunity for us to pick up where we left off two years ago and dig deeper into the game, which is close to all our hearts. Bringing the definitive Darksiders 2 experience to life is something that we hope a lot of people will enjoy and look forward to.”

Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition Official Details

As you know, a couple of weeks ago Nordic Games already confirmed that Darksiders 2 will be getting a new life on the latest generation of consoles in the near future. But only now the publisher has finally shared the details and even the first screenshots of Deathinitive Edition (yes, that’s what the upcoming reissue is called).

So, the young studio 9 is ennobling the action about Death for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One0003 Gunfire Games , consisting almost entirely of experienced people from Vigil Games , that is, familiar with the Darksiders series firsthand.

Judging by the words of the developers, Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition will launch in winter and will delight fans with an improved version (that is, in 1080p, with improved lights and shadows, well-developed levels, characters and environments, tweaked balance and a debugged loot distribution system) not only the game itself, but also all add-ons to it ( Maker Armor Set , The Abyssal Forge , The Demon Lord Belial , Death Rides , Angel of Death , Deadly Despair , Shadow of Death , Mortis Pack , Rusanov’s Axe , Van Der Schmash Hammer , Fletcher’s Crow Hammer , Mace Maximus , Argul’s Tomb ). Moreover, all DLCs are immediately integrated into the gameplay, so, according to the creators, the entertainment should stretch for at least thirty hours of commercials.

By the way, according to the director of business development Nordic Games Reinhard Pollis (Reinhard Pollice), the company has been thinking about the continuation of the hit franchise for almost two years. True, what exactly should be the next Darksiders , the copyright holder, it seems, has not decided. Therefore, for now, it remains to be content with Deathinitive Edition .
