Learn The History Of Death Through New Darksiders II Media

In Darksiders II, Death is a gothic, skull mask wearing badass. He's the second of the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to take on (digital) mythical creatures in brutal melee combat, using wince-worthy combos. Most of us are aware of this, so THQ and Vigil Games have decided to go back in time with their latest trailer. Instead of showcasing gameplay action, the brief video takes us back in time to show how the terminating force has interacted with our race throughout its conflict filled history.
