THQ Makes “Your Death Official” in Latest Darksiders 2 Video

July 19, 2012 by Alex Co

In this final installment in Darksiders II’s "Behind the Mask" series, Vigil shows us how the game’s skill trees, magic and loot work in the game.

Vigil Games has released the final trailer in its Behind the Mask video series for Darksiders II.

Watch as Darksiders II producer Ryan Stefanelli and Creative Director Joe Madureira guide us through the game's customization elements where Death's various armors, weapons and even Death himself can be customized to fit the user's playstyle.

The developers don't stop there as to further play up the game's RPG elements, they're now introducing loots in Darksiders II. While loot in itself is nothing new, Vigil is kicking it up a notch by allowing your "possessed" weapon to "eat" the armaments you no longer want to keep — thus leveling up your possessed weapons.

We also get to see how Death's skill tree system works. The game will have two skill paths for players to choose from and they're the Necormancer and Harbringer skillset. What's the major difference? Well, think of the Necromancer as your usual Wizard or magic-caster build, while the Harbringer is the Warrior or one who's focused more on melee and physical attacks.

Now that the game's almost upon us, are you excited for it? Can this help bring THQ back to profitability? I guess we'll know for sure once Darksiders II drops on August 14 for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
