THE BUZZ: Vigil games have been commenting on the level of customization that players will enjoy in Darksiders 2.

During an interview with InsideXbox, Han Randhawa, Art Director on the game, described the number of art assets that are going into loot drops in Darksiders 2. According to him, two players who play through the game will finish with different looking characters as opposed to the first game which contained very little differentiation. You can check out the full interview below.

THQ recently announced that Darksiders 2 has been delayed until August.

EGM’s TAKE: Customization is important to most players, everybody likes their character to be unique. The increased and varied loot drops in Darksiders 2 will ensure that more players have a chance to experience this individuality. The team is aiming to make the game bigger and better than the original, which will be a tall order considering the success it enjoyed. Hopefully they can pull it off.
