Darksiders II Delayed From June to August

by on

THQ and Vigil Games claim the short delay is for polishing and bug testing.

No Caption Provided

Aww, damnit. It sounded like THQ was preparing to delay Darksiders II from its seemingly solid June 26 release date, and the publisher confirmed that delay today. Darksiders II is now aiming for August.

“This is great news for the team at Vigil,” said the companies on the game’s website, “because it allows additional time for polish and to ensure that all aspects of Darksiders II meet the high-quality bar the team is targeting.”

THQ and Vigil also published a FAQ, addressing several questions about the delay. Is it due to the Wii U version? No. Is it because of the layoffs related to Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millenium Online? No.

Well, that’s what they’re saying, anyway.

I guess...I guess I can wait, and I’ll just watch the ending to Darksiders again.

August is a great time to launch a game because its often barren of significant games, so no competition. Borderlands and Arkham Asylum both launched in August and did great.

...Borderlands released in October... Because I know I was in school for its release. But anyway I know what you're saying and I agree.

Yeah Bubbameister33 beat you to it. I think because Arkham Asylum and Borderlands were both $40 in Canada I was tying them closer in my head. Arkham Asylum and Bioshock would have been correct but I missed the ball.

Sweet, take as much time as you need THQ! I"m really looking forward to playing this and the more polished the better.

So, anyone planning on buying some of their stock? It just jumped from $0.45 to $0.75 per share in two weeks. If they can make it to $1.50/share, that's doubling your profits. At such a low buy-in rate I must admit, it is temping...
