Nordic Games has announced what's clearly the best-named remastering of a game yet, the Darksiders 2 Deathinitive Edition.
Street Fighter 5 Details And Trailer Released
Bringing the Xbox 360 and PS3 hit to XBox One and PS4, the game will feature a visually updated version of the main game and include all of the DLC released for it- the Maker Armor Set, The Abyssal Forge, The Demon Lord Belial, Death Rides, Angel of Death, Deadly Despair, Shadow of Death, Mortis Pack, Rusanov's Axe, Van Der Schmash Hammer, Fletcher's Crow Hammer, Mace Maximus, and Argul's Tomb.
The game will now run in native 1080p resolution and there will be adjustments toi game balancing and loot distribution, as decreed by Gunfire Games, a studio comprised almost solely of staffers from Vigil Games, who have worked on Darksiders in the past.

“We took over the franchise roughly 2 years ago and thought about the next chapter for Darksiders ever since then," said Reinhard Pollice, Business & Product Development Director at Nordic Games. " Naturally (and extremely excitedly!), there will be a large-scale project based on Darksiders, but for now it is very important for us to take care of the existing games and make those available to a broader audience. Bringing 'Darksiders 2' to current gen was a logical step for us and the team at Gunfire Games know their trade inside-out, so we easily and quickly had lots of ideas that we wanted to realise for this specific edition.”
Lovingly described as a post-apocalyptic Legend of Zelda game, Darksiders came from seemingly out of nowhere to be one of the best titles of 2010, and the 2012 sequel improved on it in many ways.
“It feels good to be working on Darksiders again, after a couple of years of hiatus”, comments David Adams, founder and president of Gunfire Games. “This project is a great opportunity for us to pick up where we left off two years ago and dig deeper into the game, which is close to all our hearts. Bringing the definitive 'Darksiders 2' experience to life is something that we hope a lot of people will enjoy and look forward to.”
