THQ Confirms Darksiders 2 as a Wii U Launch Title

THQ today confirmed that Darksiders II will be released for the Wii U system at launch and will include five hours of additional content.

The Wii U edition of Darksiders II will feature additional bonus-content not included with other formats. Darksiders II first DLC expansion, Argul’s Tomb will be included on disc, as well as all pre-order bonuses from other editions, adding around five hours of playable content and new legendary weapons and armor.

Darksiders II on Wii U will take advantage of the Wii U GamePad, utilizing the touch screen to display map and objectives as well as giving quick access to abilities and Death’s inventory. The Wii U system’s gyro functionality will also be utilized to allow players to evade enemy attacks, manipulate objects in the world and steer their character during swimming and riding sequences.

Looks like the Wii U launch lineup keeps getting better with every announcement.
