Publisher THQ has offered information on how the upcoming Wii U version of Darksiders II will use the capabilities of the GamePad and on how they plan to deliver more content for the game via the newly introduced Nintendo Network.

A representative from THQ has stated that players will be able to get through the entire game using nothing but the GamePad, something that has never before been shown to the audience.

The touch screen will be used to explore the inventory, check out the quest log, explore the skill tree while the gyroscope can be used to control the movement of the character.

THQ has also revealed that it has two new downloadable content packs to launch for Darksiders II, The Demo Lord Belial and The Abyssal Forge, which will be delivered via the Nintendo Network.

Darksiders II is one of the titles for the Nintendo Wii U that will be available on launch.
