Death Gets Badass In New DarkSiders II Screenshots

Vigil Games' upcoming DarkSiders II has been in the news a steady amount of times. They're consistently and continually releasing new promotional content for the game to keep it fresh in the minds of gamers as it preps for a summer 2012 release.

The latest piece of promotional content to arrive for THQ and Vigil Games' DarkSiders II is a series of screenshots showing off how badass Death looks and how he doesn't shrink in the face of massive, oversized evil baddies.

The screenshots are mostly to compliment the recently released trailer for the game that gave gamers a brief overview of some of Death's weaponry, featuring some Wolverine-type claws and a massive hammer that in one screen below looks like it's about to break that rock dude into smithereens.

The screenshots don't really show off Death's scythes the way they should be showcased, but I'll go ahead and tell you that they are some of the most wicked melee weapons you'll see in a hack-and-slash game. You can check out the new screenshots for DarkSiders II below or feel free to learn more about the game, the story and the characters by paying a visit to the Official Website.
