Publisher 2K has made my day; they have just announced a sequel to one my favourite titles from 2007 – stylishly gothic shooter The Darkness. Development duties on the not-so-imaginatively titled ‘The Darkness II’ will be handled by Digital Extremes, the talented bunch of folks behind hyper-violent shooters Bioshock 2 and Dark Sector.

The Darkness II is due to arrive on the 360, PS3 and PC sometime this Autumn.

Excerpts from the official press blurb are below:

“The Darkness II is a well of dark and imaginative violence, and it’s a stylized and beautiful nightmare,” said 2K boss Christoph Hartmann.

“The Darkness II continues the 2K Games tradition of delivering quality, innovative games that are filled to the brim with atmosphere and deep storytelling.

“The game takes a unique stance on fighting in the dark versus light. Combined with the arsenal of weapons at Jackie’s disposal and the gruesome attacks of the supernatural Demon Arms and Darkness powers, we’re proud to announce another title that delivers on our core values of creating games for gamers.”

Ahh, the sequel I thought they would never make – Thank you 2K.
