What’s better that news? Good news, that’s what. Well today we have some! The kind folks over at THQ have announced that Xbox 360 and PC pre-orders for the upcoming Darksiders II will get a free upgrade to the recently announced limited edition.
Darksiders II follows the exploits of Death, one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, in an action-packed tale that runs parallel to the events in the original Darksiders game. This epic journey propels Death through various light and dark realms as he tries to redeem his brother War, the horseman blamed for prematurely starting the Apocalypse in Darksiders.

This version will launch on all 3 consoles and will feature a life-sized replica Death mask, unique armor and weapons and a digital copy of the Darksiders II soundtrack.
