Four months ago, an Amazon listing leaked the existence of a Definitive Edition of Darksiders 2. Now, Nordic Games have officially announced its existence although with a slightly different, punny name.
Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Collection will, of course, include all of the game's previously released DLC, an updated graphic render, reworked graphics and a native 1080p resolution. The press release states that it "will come to current-gen consoles this Winter," meaning it's coming to both the PS4 and Xbox One.

Darksiders 2 was the continuation of the first game where players assumed the role of Death. The gameplay for the most part remained similar though there was a much heavier focus on loot this time around. I'm not holding my breath but now that Nordic finally announced an enhanced port of Darksiders 2, it would be fantastic if they decided to continue this franchise. I was a big fan of the games.
