2K Games just released a teaser trailer for their upcoming sequel for The Darkness. The video reveals the release date as October 4th of this year and we hear a voice over from the game’s protagonist, Jackie Estacado, who mentions he’s been fighting back The Darkness but it really wants to get out. Here’s a synopsis for The Darkness II:

It’s been two years since Jackie Estacado, now the Don of the Estacado crime family, used Darkness to kill the men responsible for his girlfriend’s murder. Jackie continues to have haunting visions of his beloved Jenny since her death. He’s tried to cope by bottling up his supernatural power, and now Darkness wants out. A sudden, unprovoked attack on Jackie’s life heralds the start of a full-scale mob war, which has clearly been orchestrated by some outside force. The botched attempt opens the door for Darkness to reemerge, and sets Jackie on a journey to hell and worse, as he unravels the mystery behind the attack and the motivations of Darkness itself.

The first game was a blast to play and I can’t wait to get into the second game. Check out the teaser video below.
