Darksiders Final Box Art Design Revealed

Following the announcement of a release date earlier this month, THQ have revealed the final box art design for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 releases of the forthcoming Darksiders. Although a packaging design for each of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions was released back in July, the extended period in development has obviously allowed the publisher to rethink their retail artwork a little.

Darksiders, previously known as Darksiders: The Wrath of War, is due to launch across Europe on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 early next year, and both publisher THQ and developer Vigil Games are keen for you to be aware of this. Penned by legendary comic book artist Joe Madureira (X-Men, Battle Chasers, The Ultimates), Darksiders is set in a post-apocalyptic, demon-ravaged world where evil forces have prematurely brought about the end of the time.

Originally sent to oversee the destruction of Earth, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have been betrayed by their master, stripped of their powers and cast down to Earth. Players will take on the role of War - the first of the Four Horsemen - as he embarks on a brutal quest of vengeance against the forces that betrayed him with the help of his phantom steed Ruin.

Darksiders promises open-world exploration, a deep combat system and a huge arsenal of modern and mythical weapons. Electronic Theatre will keep you updated with all the latest details on Darksiders as its’ early 2010 release date approaches.
