About

In an action-RPG running parallel to its predecessor, Darksiders 2 stars Death, horseman of the apocalypse, embarking on an unsanctioned mission to absolve his brother War of a crime he did not commit. In an attempt to revive humanity after its annihilation in a premature apocalypse, Death travels across many realms, encountering old souls, dead souls, angels, and demons. Along the way, he's haunted by his past, carrying the souls of a dead race, and fighting against the corruption it created.

About

A third-person action-adventure game, Darksiders stars War, one of the horsemen of the apocalypse. The Endwar is triggered and War descends to Earth to wade into the battle between the forces of Heaven and Hell. But he and all the others were deceived - the seventh seal was not broken, and the apocalypse should not have happened. As the only horseman present during the battle, War is blamed for the destruction of humanity before its time. He returns to a dead and overrun Earth, seeking answers and revenge.
