About Darksiders II
Awakened by the End of
Days, Death, the most feared of the legendary Four Horsemen, embarks
upon a quest to restore mankind, and redeem his brother's name. Along
the way, the Horseman discovers that there are far worse things than
an earthly Apocalypse, and that an ancient grudge may threaten all of
Creation . . . Can DEATH really become mankind's savior? The original
Darksiders, released in January 2010, received critical acclaim
including the Best Fantasy Game 2010 award from IGN. Darksiders
followed the story of WAR, wrongly accused of starting the
apocalypse, on a quest to reclaim lost honor and take revenge on
those who wronged him.
