THQ and Vigil Games have released a brand new cinematic video for their upcoming Darksiders II hack and slash game, this time showcasing Death as he intervenes in a battle between Angels and Demons.

Darksiders impressed quite a lot of players a couple of years ago but with its upcoming sequel, developer Vigil Games wants to bring the hack and slash game to even more people all around the world.

We’ve already seen and heard quite a few things about Darksiders II but now the two companies, together with IGN, have posted the first in a new series of CGI videos called Death Strikes.

In the footage above, you can see Death, the protagonist of the upcoming game, intervening between a battle waged by Angels and Demons. He then shows off not just his strength but also his array of weapons, from dual-wield scythes to a giant hammer.

Things get hairy towards the end, as a huge enemy makes its appearance, but we’ll have to wait until the next part to see how the conflict ends.

Darksiders II is out at the end of June for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A Nintendo Wii U version is also coming when the console is released.
