14 DAY TRIAL // Darksiders 2 is set to expand on the concepts of the first game and one of the first features that the development team addressed is the way weapons work in the game, trying to give players more options when it comes to taking down foes.
In a development diary for Darksiders 2 David Adams, who is the general manager at developer Vigil Games, said, “He’ll pretty much use any weapon that’s made available. You can get big axes, you can get crazy cool claws, big iron fists – he’ll even shoot guns. He’ll use anything.”
He added, “Death’s primary weapon is a scythe – it’s kind of a unique one, it’s sort of a multi-purpose, Swiss Army scythe. He can use it with two different blades, he can attach it together to form the more traditional reaper scythe, he can use it as a pole arm.”
Darksiders 2 is set to arrive on the PlayStation 3, the PC and the Xbox 360 during June 2012 and a Nintendo Wii U version is also being created.
