If that's not enough Death for you, we also have new screenshots and a fully gameplay-montaged trailer today, plus some interesting words from the folks at Vigil. Still, the full game won't be out until August 14.
Darksiders II takes place simultaneous to War's imprisonment, and big brother Death is on a mission to clear his little siblings name. How does it do it? Well, he'll need to bring back the human race, for one thing. At least, that's what the demo has us believing. We're expecting plenty of twists and turns through the rest of the story.

PS. Actually surprised by how low the requirements are.
RAM is the most diluted of them all, they say 2GB but that means taking pagefile as enabled. They don't provide how much the EXE takes, it's ridicolous you would have 2 GB of RAM in your system today, it's going to crawl forever especially if you have 20 firefox windows and tabs and VC and photoshop opened at the same time haha. I have 16 GB and disabled pagefile, stuff works lightning fast. And DDR3 is so cheap these days.
i max out graphics settings on all games, but i only have 4GB ddr2. any more just isnt needed for games yet (assuming your boot is tidy).
