Some fantastic news today folks as Reinhard Pollice from Nordic Games has let it slip that Darksiders 2 will join Darksiders in gaining a Linux version!
QuoteLast year we explored who Nordic Games was following its $4.9 million acquisition of THQ assets during the company's liquidation auction; this year we wanted to know where it was going with all that loot. Regarding former THQ properties, the company is currently producing Darksiders for Linux and Mac, with plans to release Darksiders 2 on the platforms in the future.

While it doesn't include a direct quote about Darksiders 2 in the above sourced article it is backed up by the developer porting Darksiders who tweeted it out:

About Darksiders 2
Awakened by the End of Days, Death, the most feared of the legendary Four Horsemen, embarks upon a quest to restore mankind, and redeem his brother’s name. Along the way, the Horseman discovers that there are far worse things than an earthly Apocalypse, and that an ancient grudge may threaten all of Creation . . .
What do you make to this news? Looks like Nordic really do love Linux!
Also when asking when Darksiders will come to Linux the developer replied with:
@gamingonlinux Can't talk specific dates, but really, really soon!

Get your wallets ready Linux gamers.
Quoting: scaineCan't comment on the second, since I'd ditched Windows by the time it came out, but I played the first via PS3's rental deal... what was it called? Playstation Plus?
The first game is phenomenal. Up there with God of War, but surpassing that game in terms of combat, if not production value. Even there, it has incredible quality.
It's a console port, remember, and should be played as such - with a controller. If you do, I'm pretty certain you'll enjoy it. One of my favourite games of all time - certainly an easy Top Twenty contender and maybe even in the Top Ten.
Defiantly a controller-only game.
