We knew that Darksiders II was going to have a presence at the San Diego Comic Con this year, but it appears there is going to be more to it than we thought. Not only will there be the roundtable discussion with Joe Madureira and Han Randhawa, but the game will also have a playable demo at a number of the booths.
That’s not all though. Visitors who check out the Dark Horse, Random House, and Prima Games booths can all receive special Darksiders II Tarot Cards. Then, if they can collect all three of them, they can bring it to the GameFan Magazine booth and receive a fourth special edition card. You can see a sample image to the left but go ahead and make the jump to check out some larger versions. I’ve also included the full press release.
Unfortunately I won’t be in attendance, but I’ll surely be doing my own scavenger hunt on ebay, looking to get my hands on these cards.
Comic-Con attendees also can participate in a mini-scavenger hunt by collecting exclusive Darksiders II Tarot cards in the partner booths of Dark Horse (#2615), Random House, and Prima Games. Fans that collect all three unique cards can present them at the GameFan Magazine booth and receive a limited edition fourth Darksiders II Tarot card.
“Comic-Con is a great opportunity for THQ to connect with Darksiders fans as we get close to the game’s August release date,” said Jim Huntley, Vice President of Global Brand Marketing. “We can’t wait for them to get their hands on the game in the Convention Center.”
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.
Darksiders II launches for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on August 14, 2012, in the United States. For more information, check out the official Darksiders II website.
