Death lives in this new Darksiders II trailer, and he's coming to avenge his brother War and all of humanity with him. The task won't be easy, even for one so revered and feared as Death himself, at least not if this new gameplay trailer from THQ is any indication. The massive creatures, ancient demons, and even fallen angels that stand in Death's way look to be far more fearsome than anything we had to tackle as War in the first game.

Read our hands-on impressions of Darksiders II here, and check out the trailer below to get yourself prepped for the game's August 14th release. As far as we're concerned, Death just can't come soon enough! Wait... we should probably rephrase that.
