VGA: Darksiders II Teaser Trailer

The Spike VGA award show, if nothing else, is a great opportunity for gamers to get a peek at some of the most anticipated games set to release in the coming years. THQ isn't about to let the opportunity go by unnoticed, and as such have released a new teaser trailer for Darksiders II. In the sequel players will take the role of Death as he seeks to redeem his War's name.

The teaser doesn't offer much in terms of how the game will look, and instead opts to build anticipation for the lore surrounding the  Darksiders universe. The original was an action game that emphasized exploration in the same vein as The Legend of Zelda, and won over fans with its ease of play and sense of discovery. In the summer of 2012 players will see just how THQ has evolved the Darksiders franchise during what is typically a dry season for video games.
