The story behind The Darkness and Jackie Estacado

Now, here’s a bit of character background for those who have been waiting for the game The Darkness which is published by 2K Games. Remember that Estacado guy? Well, people comment that the character Jackie Estacado from The Darkness (360, PS3) is a little too violent, but such rage should have emanated from somewhere, right? We don’t mean the malevolent entity which possessed him, but we’re talking about the events that occurred before Estacado’s 21st birthday.

We know that aside from his enemies from the Otherworld, Estacado is scouring the New York underworld to wipe out his former Mafia employers. They used to work together, and somewhere along the line, something happened that turned everything sour. The story trailer below doesn’t spoil much of the story, but it hints on several things that will leave your mind reeling with speculations.

The Darkness is a mix of modern day crime drama and supernatural horror that uses both FPS and third-person perspectives. The story of Estacado originally appeared in a comic of the same title which was created by Top Cow, and developer Starbreeze Studio decided to bring it to the video gaming universe.

Set for a Q2 2007 release, we can’t wait.
