Darksiders 2 Taken Down From European Wii U eShop
Darksiders 2 will be taken down from the European Wii U eShop on March 31st.
However, if you’ve previously purchased the game, you can of course re-download it. You can’t actually purchase it, though. The reason for the down taking is currently unknown. Vigil Games were not sold during THQ‘s auction, nor was the Darksiders franchise. So it’s quite possible it has something to do with that or licensing, possibly.
As of now, THQ is still looking for a new owner to both the studio and the franchise.

Darksiders II Introduces New Difficulty Level
Darksiders II will be getting a new difficulty level, Nightmare mode.
To unlock this difficulty level you need to have completed the main game. Additionally, if you die when playing in nightmare mode, you will lose all your progress. There are exceptions though, such as falling deaths or getting killed by lava will not erase your saves.
New Film From Darksiders 2 Posted
Darksiders 2 has had a new behind-the-scene posted online.
In the film, THQ talks about various aspects of the new game, such as being able to style your character accordingly to your wishes. We also get to hear some about the various gaming styles, and what we can expect when choosing them.
New Trailer from Darksiders II Streamed
Darksiders II has had a new trailer streamed.
The trailer is appropriately named “The Last Sermon“.
In the game we’ll play one of the four horsemen, just like we did in the first game. Unlike in the original game, we won’t be playing as war, but instead we’ll play as death. The trailer below is the cut one, but if you go to Darksiders 2′s official Facebook page you can see the uncut one. I might as well save you the disappointment with saying that the uncut one isn’t a whole different from the cut one, there’s just a bit more of the sermon part. The man playing the priest is James Cosmo.
