Darksiders 2 has been delayed until August (but it has nothing to do with the Wii U)

5 Comments

THQ has announced that Darksiders 2 has been delayed until the 20th of August. This was expected, but they did clarify that:

…the date was shifted to ensure we meet the high quality threshold that we are committed to achieving. It has nothing to do with any other platform releases.

So the Wii U isn’t to blame, and I very much doubt this offers any suggestion of the platform’s release date.

    delay till wii u launch that’s even better

    However…

    This is a real long shot, but assuming the Wii U arrives in August, which it won’t, it would not only explain Darksiders 2′s push to August, thus qualifying it as a Wii U launch title, but it would also explain why Nintendo is deciding against appearing at Gamescom. There would be little point showing a console during a show again when the console itself is already out by then.

    But I don’t believe any of this for a second. Darksiders 2 is coming out August, Wii U is arriving in the fall, and Nintendo’s E3 will apparently be so awesome that it will not need to warrant a second showing at Gamescom.

    CASE CLOSED!

    That’s what they say, but I’ve got a feeling that this is Nintendo throwing their weight around like Sony and Microsoft have been doing this gen. It may not actually make launch, August seeming unlikely for Wii U, but the closer launch makes the Wii U version seem less “me too” if they’re only a month or two off rather than three or four.

    I’m happy to see more companies wait till a game is ready rather than throw it out as soon as they can and finish it off with DLC cough*EA*cough*activision*cough
