Darksiders II was supposed to come out in June, but it was delayed in April and will now be released on August 14, and moreover, THQ has also announced a push in the launch date of South Park: The Game. The company has disclosed that more than 11 million units of Saints Row games have been shipped globally till now, with 4.25 million among them being those of Saints Row: The Third.
During an investor conference call yesterday, THQ’s CEO told Joystiq about the new release date for the next Darksiders game, citing that the delay was a demonstration of the company’s ‘commitment to quality.’ Obsidian’s much awaited RPG, South Park: The Game was scheduled to be outed in 2012, but this game too has been hit with a holdup, thrusting its launch window into the first quarter of 2013.
“We exceeded our initial fourth quarter guidance for net sales, earnings and cash position, driven by high quality core games with a significant digital component, which is the blueprint for our future. We have made significant changes to our business, and are on track to execute our strategy of delivering quality connected core gaming experiences, beginning with the sequel to the award-winning Darksiders in August,” quoted THQ President and CEO Brian Farrell.
Earlier this month, the company announced the development of the Enter the Dominatrix expansion for Saints Row: The Third. And now, news is that this pack will be deployed for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC in September 2012.
Darksiders II will be outed for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC on August 14. It can be pre-ordered now at a price of 59.99 USD (approx. Rs. 3,240).
