Darksiders Release Date Slipping to Late 2010 [Update]
Vigil Games Darksiders has been quietly building steam since E3 2008. As God of War’s backdrop is Greece, Dante’s Inferno is Hell, Darksiders makes the apocolypse the star of the show. As one of the Horsemen you are tasked to discover why the end times were brought on early.
Their is no official information from THQ or Vigil games directly, but certain press outlets and retailers are showing Darksiders may be getting an August 2010 release. This would make sense as the release date has been reported previously for January 2010. Dante’s Inferno is scheduled for February 2010 and God of War III is scheduled for March 2010. This wouldn’t be the optimal release window considering so many well known and similar competitors that will be occupying the shelves.
Update
False alarm as the reference has been updated. Darksiders still slated for January 2010.

With God of War 3 coming, I am not surprised. This game is not even on my radar to be honest. With MAG in January, both WKC and Star Ocean 4 in February, and both God of War and GT5 in March, this game would a failure on the PS3.

I am looking forward to this game, but to be honest I am a bit relieved. Q1 2010 is crowded as it is. August is usually still a relatively dry month so maybe there won’t be that much competition then.

so this comes out in 2 months?
shouldn’t they advertise that or something? try and build a little heat for the game?
/sound of crickets…

So, Darksiders on January, Dante’s Inferno on February, and GoW3 on March.
hmmmmm…..
Let’s not forget ModNation Racers, GT5, FFXIII, Bioshock 2, Alpha Protocol, and Bayonetta.
Am I missing something? Looks like holiday won’t end until summer. lol.

Wouldn’t want to sound mean, but with GT5’s development record, I wouldn’t really hope for a Q1 release.

god of war 3 will be great, but god of war is 2 months later than darksiders. plenty of time to enjoy it, Gonna get this one for sure. Dantes seams too much like god of war, don’t like to have two games that are so identical, well in combat and stuff, don’t get me wrong God of war 3 will destroy Dantes inferno. Darksiders seams like a little taste of zelda, so they have been saying. Lost planet 2 is my number one. Multiplayer more entertaining than DUTY.
