Darksiders II launches in a mere 11 days, bringing all the fury of Death along with it. To prepare us mere mortals, THQ released a short CG trailer detailing Death's exploits across Earth and throughout the underworld. These exploits, true to Death's name, will involve a whole lot of stabbing, trampling, and skewering if this trailer is any indication.

We got our hands on the game earlier this summer at the San Diego Comic Con, and we certainly liked what we saw. With faster swordplay, more attacks, a brand new equipment system bolstered by tons of loot, and even bigger, nastier enemies, Darksiders II looks to be a grand follow-up to the first game. If this sequel doesn't hit its sales projections, however, the next game in the series could be taking a hit. The ailing THQ warns gamers that if Darksiders II doesn't move enough copies, the third game in the series might just not have enough funding to reach the same epic scale and scope. Should this happen, the third Darksiders will be a much smaller, more focused project for the studio. Here's to hoping that Darksiders II proves profitable for THQ.
