New release date for The Darkness II

[2K David]

Hey guys, I have an update on the release date for The Darkness II. The game will now be coming out in the second week of February 2012, and the specific regional dates are as follows:

• North America: February 7, 2012
• International: February 10, 2012

We'll have more updates for The Darkness II coming soon, so stay tuned! And for those of you who will be at San Diego Comic-Con, be sure to swing by the booth and say 'hi' (and tweet for a chance to win one of our Darkling statues!)

Can you fill us in on what caused the delay? Or is there no definite answer?

Lets hope they got the hint about the removal of cel-shading.

At this point I've grown really fond of the 'graphic noir' style.

The realistic tone of the first game was great, but I like that Digital Extremes is trying something new with the sequel.

Well like 80% of the people I'm talking to on here seem to dislike it to some extent.

DE will not listen to the 80% in these forums, cel shading will be interesting for a darkness game, if you want a proper clear graphic game play anything like BF3 or uncharted but darkness 2 is going to have the noir art, people must deal with it, if people had their way CoD would retaliate and stop

The new CoD is garbage anyways.

I think graphic nior can be pulled off in this game, but I'm not sure if they're doing it right. From what I've seen, it looks too colorful. If the game mostly features a darker color palette like the art of Jackie on their website, chances are I might just like it.
