Darksiders 2 finally dated, due out August 14

During a conference call this afternoon, THQ revealed that Darksiders II would be keeping its August release date, and eager fans can expect Death's appearance on August 14.

"We look forward to launching Darksiders beginning on August 14 in North America," said CEO Brian Farrell, who also referred to the game's previous delay as a "demonstration of [THQ's] commitment to quality." The Horseman of Death was initially set to make his debut in June, but that date was later pushed back to August, which THQ considered a "more favorable release window."

Events in Darksiders II overlap with the goings-on in Darksiders, when War is galavanting about a ruined Earth in search of answers. Well, with three other siblings, you can bet the guy doesn't work alone.
