THQ has today confirmed its plan to release a sequel to the hit post-Apocalyptic action/adventure, Darksiders.

Yes folks, Darksiders 2 is coming, and this time, you'll take on the role of "Death," one of the dread Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, in a weaving adventure that runs parallel to the events of the original game.

"This epic journey propels 'Death' through various light and dark realms as he tries to redeem his brother WAR, the horseman who was blamed for prematurely starting the Apocalypse in Darksider," reads the press release. "Featuring a dramatically larger world, full weapon and armor upgrade systems as well as bigger and more challenging dungeons and vast array of new enemies and bosses, Darksiders II strives to improve on every aspect of the original hit."

Danny Bilson, Executive Vice President of Core Games, commented: “We have taken the best parts of Darksiders and improved on them with a host of new mechanics and features. You will see great things from this epic game.”

Earlier this week, Bilson tweeted that a big reveal about the sequel is coming soon. Darksiders 2 is slated to arrive on the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC in 2012. Expect more info about the game at E3 next week.
