THQ has confirmed that Darksiders 2 will be launch alongside the Wii U on the 18th of November in North America. This version of the game will include:

…the first DLC expansion, Argul’s Tomb, as well as all pre-order bonuses from other editions, adding around five hours of playable content and new legendary weapons and armor.

…and features the following GamePad functionality:

…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.

It’s also all kind of wonderful that the developers at Vigil Games can start sharing more of their enthusiasm about the platform. They’ve been dying to talk about it these past few weeks.
