Vigil Games has announced that they will be rewarding loyal players who played Darksiders 1 with in-game gear for Darksiders II.
Interestingly enough, they will be offering different items for those who played Darksiders 1, and those who completed it. If you've played the first part of Vigil's action-adventure title, you will unlock the Pauldron of the Horsemen in Darksiders II. This is a level 5 legendary armor piece that boosts all of Death's stats as well as his critical damage..
If you're more hardcore and managed to beat Darksiders 1 (on any difficulty), you will still get the Pauldron of the Horsemen armor piece and in addition, a level 1 scythe called the Chaos Fang which will boost Death's damage and critical damage.
According to Vigil, the in-game items unlock based on Achievements/Trophies you've unlocked in Darksiders 1. So, if you've yet to play or finish War's story, then the following two weeks might be a good idea as Darksiders II will be out on August 14 for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
I honestly like it when developers do little stuff like this. No matter how small, it shows they care for the fans that took the time to embrace their previous game.
Have you managed to beat Darksiders 1?
