Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition Officially Announced For Switch, Release Date Revealed

That is possibly the worst date ever to release. Zelda, DQ11 and possibly the Witcher 3 all right around that time!

With that said I still want it. I have the Wii U version but never got far. It was a good game from what I played.

This is a nice surprise. May go with the physical edition, I have this one digitally on Wii U, grabbed that on sale after getting the first Darksiders on Wii U as a Christmas gift a few years ago.

The series is great, so I won't mind picking this one up if I ever stumble across it.

Great to see this being released with all the DLC. I just can't see it selling though, releasing a week after Zelda... I hope I'm wrong!!

This is all I ever wanted!!!

Nice!
Now all we need is a port of Darksiders 3.
Definitely picking it up for $30 it’s a great deal and great game. People saying it won’t sell because of the other big releases but why not just get them all.
I love my Switch and will support it especially when we’re getting amazing games like this.

Aaaaah, finally, I was waiting for it!
I really liked DarkSiders 1 even if I still haven't finished it, I'm still surprised that it took so long for 2 to come on Switch

Definitely interested in this, we need more 3D action adventures on the Switch.

Hey guys, I remember trying out Darksiders (the first one) a very long time ago but only played maybe an hour so I don’t remember it.

For the experienced Darksider players, would you say this franchise is closer to a God of War (hack n slash) game or Zelda?

I may grab the Warmastered edition and then this.

Thoughts? & Thank you.

@CTmatic I believe it is closer to Zelda!! This is the only 3d series that comes close to Zelda's complex puzzle design. If you missed that in BotW, this is the perfect game

I know this date sucks, but this is the one game that I would get no matter what the date of release was. I can't wait!!!!

That one was presented to me as "like a Zelda game". I had high expectations when I bought the Wii U version and was disappointed

Deathinitive is up there with quadrilogy in its awfulness.

I've always been interested in playing this series, but I need to pick up the 1st game at some point as well.

That said, I can't tell which title is worse: Warmastered or Deathinitive.

Just recently finished Darksiders. It's a good game overall and I'll pick up the 2nd one too,just not in September. With Zelda and DQ11 and possibly The Witcher 3 not far behind. Not to mention I've just started Fire Emblem and got Astral Chain on preorder too 😬

RIght on. I will have to pick it up. My favorite game in the series.

Wii u backlog. Got it free with the humble bundle.
Will eventually try. Eventually

A brilliant game. The best Zelda clone out there.

Just got the first one. This is fantastic (officially confirmed) news! If THQ wanna release Darksiders 3 on Switch, I’d gladly throw my money at it.

@Spoony_Tech but not everyone is in to the games you wrote. Because they are A++ doesn't mean other games can't enter the same month. Just get what you like. That's why some games got delayed by people like you who have the mind like this. Just release the game when it's finished. Let the player decide when or how he plays it. Nuff said. Give us more! lol

Very nice. Never got a chance to try this one on the Wii U. May pick it up. Now let’s see if we can port over Darksiders 3 on the Switch.

Give me III and I'm all in THQ...

Just don't think I can grab it with all thats coming In September

Figured this was only a matter of time. I'll be busy with getting through the whole Dragon Quest series before DQXI comes out on Switch, and after that I'm marathoning the Fire Emblem series, so hard pass from me. Played and got bored with it on Wii U already.

@Xelha Really? I've heard this one is the best. I beat this one and started darksiders warmastered edition for the ps4 and didn't get too far.

I've actually heard that the third one is the weakest one yet.

Buying again, Can't wait.

Definitely getting this, i'm looking forward to Genesis as well, now all we need is a port of Darksiders 3, please make it happen THQ !

I bought the physical release on the Wii U, and beat it as well. Knowing me, I'll probably buy it again, on the Switch, physically, and beat it again.

@Xelha Yeah I feel that, I actually made a youtube video of Darksiders 2 vs Nier Automata. In the video I mentioned that I got burnt out of fetch quests and that you have to do everyone's laundry before they help you.

I liked the combat more than anything in Darksiders 2. However, it sounds like you've played them quite a bit more than I have. I will need to play the first one more, but I would agree with everything you've said about the second one. It seems like this series of games are always fun but they always seem to fall short of great.

Deathinitely coming to the Switch then. The more decent game ports, the merrier.

@Rhaoulos maybe you stopped earlier because as you get deep into the game the dungeons look a lot like zelda

@AstralSoul13 they are pretty good. I have them for steam, Wii u, and Xbox.

Yeah I'll have to wait on this too much other stuff, plus I want to pick up the first one before that even. My backlog is super overflowing already lol.

So much to play at the end of September, but I’ll pick this up for $24 before my Gamers Club expires. Wish I hadn’t missed out on the first one for $16 last week.

@Sunsy

I did the same thing and traded in my physical copy after. Never got very far. Hopefully this version will fix the horrendous screen tearing.

These were always decent at best but with that release date I won't have time to go anywhere near it for some time, maybe a sale early next year when the release schedule dries up

I did get this for the WiiU. I need to check it out

@Xelha I agree about the sidequests but I personally found Death's character to be fun. I remember him having several good one liners.

I own the first one on Wii U, and it's by far the game with more game-breaking glitches that I have ever played.

Got this game on Wii U and loved it. It had a lot of things I was hoping for in a Zelda game.

I love this game, but... any news about whether they fixed the GAME BREAKING bug that was in the deathinitive edition on Wii U and other platforms..?

@Balta666 I finished the game. It was just boring.

@Rhaoulos I played 5-10h and enjoyed the gameplay a lot. Maybe you don't like JRPG's

@Balta666 I like JRPGs, but Darksiders 2 isn't one.
I thought it was bland and empty. The battle system was OK but that was about it. And don't take it personally if I have different tastes, I'm not saying you have bad tastes but you misunderstand the definition of JRPG and you are way too tolerant in your comparison with Zelda.

@Rhaoulos apologies, I had just commented on a discussion regarding grandia remaster and did not notice this comment was on darksiders

@Balta666 Oh, this makes a lot more sense. In that case, I have never played Grandia, so I can only trust you with the Zelda feel. I have it on my wishlist and I'll make sure to buy it if I ever have time to play it.
