Vigil Games and THQ have finally released a trailer for Darksiders II that shows off only gameplay from the upcoming hack and slash experience.

Darksiders 2 is out next month, in August, and the two companies behind it have released all sorts of impressive videos, showing off cinematic cut scenes and live action footage.

Now, as we get closer to the game’s launch, developer Vigil and publisher THQ have finally released a special all-gameplay trailer with footage from the hack and slash experience.

In the video above, you can admire the protagonist, Death, as he goes up against all sorts of monsters, small and large, in order to redeem his brother, War, who starred in the first Darksiders title.

The new game in the series is out on August 14, in North America, and August 17, in Europe, for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. A Nintendo Wii U version will also be released when the actual console appears.
