2K Games announced that The Darkness II, the sequel to the million unit-selling 2007 title, The Darkness, will be available for the PlayStation 3 on October 4, 2011 in North America and October 7, 2011 internationally.

“It’s been two years since Jackie Estacado, now the Don of the Estacado crime family, used Darkness to kill the men responsible for his girlfriend’s murder. Jackie continues to have haunting visions of his beloved Jenny since her death. He’s tried to cope by bottling up his supernatural power, and now Darkness wants out. A sudden, unprovoked attack on Jackie’s life heralds the start of a full-scale mob war, which has clearly been orchestrated by some outside force. The botched attempt opens the door for Darkness to reemerge, and sets Jackie on a journey to hell and worse, as he unravels the mystery behind the attack and the motivations of Darkness itself.”

This will be playable at E3, so stay tuned for our opinion of the game shortly after E3!
