Ben-DutkaIt came out over three years ago, but it remains one of our favorite games of the generation .
Ever since, we've been scrounging about for any news of a sequel. For a while, it just didn't appear to be a possibility, but industry sleuth Superannuation has found an encouraging piece of information. It's the CV for a Texture Artist/Environment and Prop Artist for Digital Extremes; his name is Emmanuel Pappas and he has worked at EA Canada ( FIFA ) and Radical Entertainment ( Prototype ) in the past. He's been at Digital Extremes since January of 2009 and it seems he's working on three titles: "JarFly," one "Undisclosed Title," and yes, "Darkness 2." While it's true that the original was developed by Starbreeze, that studio has already said that a sequel would likely be created by another team. Although we've waited quite a while already, we'll definitely be interested to hear about a sequel to a game that may have been under-appreciated. It would probably appear dated now but even so, you might want to rent it if you like atmospheric FPSs with big twists.
For a frame of reference, The Darkness might be compared to Singularity as they're both FPSs at their core, but they also have a very unique mechanic or element that makes the experience feel quite fresh.
