In a press release today, Take-Two announced that it's delaying the release of The Darkness II.
Originally scheduled for an October 4th release, the FPS will now be available on February 7th, 2012 in the US and February 10th for the rest of the world.
The publisher did not give any reasons on a delay, but with several blockbuster titles releasing this fall, it is probably a smart move by Take-Two.
