Today THQ announced that the release date for Darksiders II has been pushed from June to August 2012.
The announcement post, written by Mat “Sledgehammer70” Everett, gave the stated reason for the delay as “to ensure that all aspects of Darksiders II meet the high-quality bar the team is targeting. In game development, more time is always a good thing for quality and the Vigil team is dedicated to providing the definitive Darksiders experience.”
There is a brief FAQ at the end of the post; those questions reveal the doubts and thoughts that the fandom has about the news; especially in light of THQ’s recent financial woes. To sum up? No, it’s not because of the layoffs at Vigil (the developer), it’s not that they’re trying to line up with the launch of the Wii U, and yes it will definitely launch in August.
