The Darkness shall be unleashed in June

by Nick Doerr { Mar 27th 2007 at 1:30PM }

Starbreeze's newest title The Darkness has been talked about over and over again. By us, mostly. Screenshots here, plot outline there, you know. The usual. Anyway, it's been released that June 25th will be the tentative release date. This is good because there's that summertime lull in good games (Lair is in May, and Heavenly Sword is... later) and releasing this title in that frame will give it a better chance to get into people's hands -- even if just for a rental.

The funny thing is, this announcement was apparently made via MySpace. I don't like the thing, so I'm not going to sift through the crap to find the announcement, but hey. It's a medium to deliver news in the same way YouTube is, probably. That's all we've got to say about this! We'll keep you up on details as they surface.

I read somewhere, one of the juggernaut games sites, that Lair has slipped until 12th June. From what I read about the GDC presentation of Lair -- looked incredible, but, you know, the engine was still obviously a bit out from a solid beta -- that makes sense. Elsewhere I still see the 7th May date, but I'm betting on early June. I remain terribly expectant; it's just that miserable extra month to wait. Good news about The Darkness though -- that one looks hot. Here's hoping it doesn't slip until late August!
