The Darkness looms over UK…on Xbox 360 first
After a timely release on North American shores, Take-Two Interactive’s The Darkness has shipped to the UK, as promised, but will be available for the Xbox 360 first. The PlayStation 3 version is set for release on July 20, goes the official announcement, and should feature more video content for in-game television.
“The Darkness takes the first-person action video game to new depths on both a visual and a gameplay level and brings the graphic novel to grisly new life,” said 2K president Christoph Hartmann. “The Darkness” comics was authored by Paul Jenkins and published by Top Cow Productions, known for their novelty published title “Witchblade.”
Marc Silvestri, founder of Top Cow Productions, said, “Since [Top Cow, 2K, and Starbreeze Studios] have all worked very closely on this project, fans of the comic book will be pleased with how accurately and effectively it comes to life as an incredibly visceral and enjoyable video game.”
The game is still rated M for Mature, although no announcement of BBFC’s own rating for the game has been made. Suggested retail price was also a no-show in the follow up announcement.
