Nordic Games has officially announced its Darksiders II: Deathfinitive Edition, which we’ve known about for months thanks to retailer product listings.
Due out this winter for “current-gen consoles,” the Deathfinitive Edition is a visually updated version of the sequel running in 1080p and including all of the game’s post-release downloadable content. It will also have game balancing and loot distribution adjustments.
The Deathfinitive Edition is handled by Gunfire Games, a studio where nearly all staffers have worked at Vigil Games and Darksiders in the past.
“We took over the franchise roughly 2 years ago and thought about the next chapter for Darksiders ever since then,” said Nordic Games business and product development director Reinhard Pollice. “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 II 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 realize for this specific edition.”
