Darksiders II Official Lunch Date:

That’s right! Darksiders II now has a stake in the ground for  June 26th  release in the US  and  June 29th  release in Europe. We are very excited to announce the official date, and glade we can put the game on everyone’s calendar for the summer.

A late June release date makes a lot of goddamn sense, as they’re carving out some real estate before the deluge arrives in early fall and carries away our wallets into the abyss.
