Sounds great. I really like that they are evolving this into something more that what the first one ended up being. And day 1 for PC along with the consoles is perfect.

Though War gained new powers throughout the original Darksiders, Death's progress feels much more like a traditional RPG. Each time he levels up he gains an ability point. Players can apply these to two main skill trees: the the melee-focused Harbinger tree and the Necromancer tree, which grants Death new spells and greater proficiency with using them.

 

I wasn't able to explore the full list of potential options in Death’s skill trees, but here’s an early look at some of the abilities:

 

Harvest: This ability increases Death's range by sending his Reaper form leaping forward with scythes firing out from it. Each additional skill point devoted to Harvest will cause more scythes to be unleashed.

 

Death Grip: This crowd control ability summons a giant skeletal hand from the ground to hold an enemy in place while simultaneously providing a small amount of damage.

 

Exhume: Coffins rise from the ground and burst open, producing small zombie minions who will fight for Death. Additional skill points allow more minions to be summoned at one time.

 

Murder: Death sends a large group of crows at an enemy. Like Death Grip, this causes some damage but is primarily a form of crowd control, keeping bigger groups of enemies distracted so Death can focus elsewhere.

 

Unending Hunger: This passive improvement to Murder allows each bit of damage done by crows a small chance of producing another Murder.

 

Weapon Master: This Harbinger skill causes Death's melee attacks to be critical strikes much more frequently and also makes critical strikes refill some of his Wrath bar, allowing for more abilities to be used.

A HUGE PREVIEW
