The official Darksiders website was updated earlier today with some pretty sweet information. If you are a long time Darksiders fan and played through the original Darksiders on PS3 or Xbox 360, then you’ll be getting some great goodies when you play through Darksiders II. If you have played the original Darksiders you will immediately unlock the Pauldron of the Horsemen, a legendary armor piece that boosts Death’s stats and critical damage. If you’ve beaten the original Darksiders, you will also unlock the Chaos Fang, a legendary scythe that boosts Death’s damage and critical damage.
I’m not sure how useful these pieces will be, but I really like the idea here. In playing the first several hours of the game, I was able to acquire quite a variety of loot, so you’ll undoubtedly be switching pieces in and out to continuously upgrade your character. Some of these will become less useful as you pickup higher level loot, but no fear, you can feed them into the Possessed Weapons to improve those numbers. Overall, I think this is a sweet additional gift that Vigil is giving longtime Darksiders fans.
Darksiders II is set to release in just 13 days here in the United States.
