The Darkness 2 Delayed July 20, 2011

Bringing some relief to what was already going to be a HEAVILY swamped Fall release schedule, 2K Games has officially announced that The Darkness II has been delayed until February, 2012.

No specifics were gone into about what the reason for the delay was, but I’m going to feel free to speculate.  This fall is looking to be the most jam packed three months (September through November) in this console generation, probably in the history of gaming outright.  The sheer amount of major platform releases and major cross platform releases is going to put a dent in any gamer’s wallet, and by delaying until Feb of next year, The Darkness II has a better chance of getting recognition at a time when there will be no competition released.  Of course they could also be delaying it to add multiplayer, but other than the “No Comment” I got at E3 I have no evidence whatsoever to support that speculation.

The Darkness II is now coming February 7th, 2012 for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
