Darksiders II Game Director Marvin Donald doesn't believe they would be able to get away with another parallel story, he told Strategy Informer.

When talking about Darksiders as a franchise, we asked Marvin whether the studio plans to revisit the iconic ending of the first game.

"I think we have to, right?," he said. "Imagining myself from a gamer’s perspective, I’d be disappointed if Vigil did the same thing. It’s just too much of the same. We can only get away with it once…"

THQ has announced that the company would be readjusting its focus more on the hardcore games, and would be eschewing family games. This shift in focus was the result of sales in the past few years.

THQ core games boss Danny Bilson confirms that Vigil Games' Darksiders II will be continuing the great new action franchise in June next year.

Metro: Last Light, the sequel to Metro 2033, will be arriving 'next summer' and it's set a year after events in the first game. Both will also retail on Wii U.
