Top Cow Productions has been hinting at a sequel to The Darkness for a while now, but it seems we may still have to wait a little longer until we hear anything concrete. The comic book company is currently in the process of clearing up any rights issues so the sequel can be given the green light.

"There are certain rights issues that we needed to clear up in order to move ahead with The Darkness 2. Those are getting cleared up. While there are no specific plans, it is definitely that is still on all of our minds," Top Cow sales and marketing director Atom! Freeman told Joystiq.

Although they're still holding off on official announcements, Freeman did confirm that they plan to do a sequel.

"Absolutely," he said. "We loved the game. The fans loved the game. There's no reason to not do another one. Just making sure that all of our ducks are in a row so that we can begin that process."

Last year, The Darkness developer Starbreeze was said to be out of the running when it comes to the sequel's development. There is still no info on who will step into that role.

Lets hope THIS TIME that Jackie actualy USES the Darkness armor. Come on, the serpents out of the shoulders were cool, and worked well in the game itself, but thats NOT the "Darkness" thats Jackie using SOME of the Darkness' powers. That was a HUGE, HUGEEEEE let down in the last game. I mean, how are you gonna make a game from a comic "for the fans" and then LEAVE OUT the characters look and signature outfit, and alot of his powers? I REALLY hope that Top cow sees this post. Problably wont happen but I know ALOT of Darkness fans that were just as pissed as I was about this issue.

this was a great game, a little tweak here and there and it will be fantastic!

well Jackie is supposed to go to Hell, I believe to get his girlfriend...I loved the singleplayer, what I didnt like was the laggy multiplayer. I hope they work on the multiplayer aspect of the game, Starbreeze makes excellent single players though
