Release date announcements have become practically synonymous with pre-order bonuses, and Darksiders 2 is no exception. Depending on the retailer, players can gain access to stat boosts, unique armor and weapons, or entirely new gameplay content.
Darksiders 2 made its public debut at E3 2011, with an announcement trailer that set the stage for Death’s ascent. Much more recently, Game Rant got the opportunity to attend an eyes-on gameplay preview, and came away impressed. With any luck, releasing Darksiders 2 in the traditionally game-poor Summer season – right after E3 2012, no less – should help it to stand out.
Publisher THQ, reeling from massive restructuring and layoffs, no doubt hopes that the new game finds a larger audience than its predecessor. Players new to Darksiders are advised to check out its rich, unique back-story – a task that should be made easier by Darksiders: The Abomination Vault, a novel set to be published concurrently with the new game.
Check out the Darksiders 2 pre-order bonuses below, along with screenshots of what those bonuses look like in game.
