Nordic Games has confirmed that Darksiders 2 will get a new-gen edition.

The publisher acquired the Darksiders intellectual property in the wake of THQ's collapse.

Rumour of a new-gen edition first surfaced a couple of days ago when Amazon posted a listing for the game.

Nordic has made a full announcement, but did tell Gamespot that “the authenticity of the listing is unquestionable.”

Of the last-gen edition, Gameplanet's Ben Allan said, "While the brazenly derivative nature of its gameplay, and some technical and execution issues hold Darksiders 2 back from greatness, its impressive presentation, the inclusion of one or two neat ideas, entertaining combat, and some good puzzles make for a playthrough that even cynical gamers might find themselves enjoying almost in spite of themselves."
