Darksiders II: Meet The Creatures

[Гость PlayStation®]

We’ve just released the first ever all-gameplay trailer for Darksiders II, showing the most-feared of the horseman of the apocalypse, Death, going up against just some of the amazing creatures from the game. The Ancient. The Corrupted. The Holy. The Damned… Death comes for all. Take a look below.

In the trailer you can see a few of the key characters from the game…

Death

Like his fellow Horsemen, Death is of a race known as Nephilim – among the most powerful beings in the universe. When mankind was given the prize of Eden, Absalom – leader of the Nephilim – led his armies against Heaven and Hell in an attempt to steal it back. For this crime, the Charred Council condemned the Nephilim to destruction. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were granted a reprieve from this fate on the condition they aid the Council’s victory over their kin. The Horsemen accepted, but it was Death who bore the greatest burden of guilt for the near extinction of his race. Donning his iconic mask to represent his role as executioner on the day he slaughtered his brethren, he has not removed it since.

Dust

A bird of unknown origins, neither living nor dead, Dust is Death’s trusty sidekick. Dust will aid Death as he navigates the treacherous dungeons and explores the expansive overworld of Darksiders II.

Despair

Despair is Death’s loyal steed. Unlike Ruin in the original Darksiders, players will have access to their mount near the game’s beginning. This allows them to use Despair’s combat abilities in any open spaces, and to travel faster between points in the overworld areas.

Crowfather

Dark and mysterious, the Crowfather is a Keeper of secrets. Like all things pertaining to the Crowfather, his race and origin are a mystery—though some believe him to be Nephilim as the Horsemen are. The Crowfather is sagely, lacking in patience and humour, but possessed of an ancient wisdom and knowledge of things forgotten, or best forgotten. Though he resembles an old weathered crone, the Crowfather’s mastery of arcane arts makes him a force to be reckoned with. His crow minions are fiercely protective, giving their very lives to strengthen his magic, or to murder any threat against him.

Maker Elder

The oldest of the Old Ones, the Elder is withdrawn and contemplative. He moves and speaks slowly, with a great wisdom and sense of inner peace. There is, more and more in his tone, a great sorrow. He has seen the end of all things, and knows that the march toward this inescapable fate has already begun. Death’s appearance in their world is unexpected however, and the Elder sees it as an omen, or at the very least, an unexpected wrinkle which may change the course of fate.

Darksiders II comes to PlayStation 3 on 21st August in Europe. And don’t forget, the original Darksiders is currently available free to play as part of the Instant Game Collection for PlayStation Plus subscribers!
