The sequel to last year’s Darksiders will be released next year, according to publisher THQ.

Darksiders II is said to put you in the shoes of Death, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, who is attempting to redeem his brother War who has been blamed for issuing in the apocalypse in the original game.

The sequel is said to feature a far larger game-world than the first, new weapon and armour upgrade systems, as well as a vast number of dungeons and bosses.

The game will be available on PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.

THQ’s creative director Luis Gigliotti revealed in an interview all the way back in 2009 that they were hoping to include multiplayer in the sequel. No official word yet but it would be a welcome addition.
