2k Games has officially announced a new sequel for 2007′s, The Darkness entitled none other then The Darkness 2. The game will be coming too Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC in Fall 2011 and Digital Extremes are at the helm developing the title.

It’s been two years since Jackie Estacado, now the Don of the Franchetti crime family, used The Darkness to kill the men responsible for his girlfriend’s murder. He’s been unable to shake the memory of Jenny’s death since bottling up his supernatural power, and now The 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 The 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 The Darkness itself.

The game is supposedly going to boast a “hand-painted graphic noir technique” that should bring a unique look to the game. Expect more info soon.
