Features

On his twenty-first birthday, the awesome and terrible powers of The Darkness awaken within Jackie Estacado, a mafia hitman for the Franchetti crime family. With his new powers, Jackie is able to wreak terrifying havoc on his enemies. Jackie must learn to fully command the Darkness so he can take back control of the Franchetti family, which is ruled by his uncle Paulie, a despicable man who is almost universally despised.

  • Comic book heritage: The game is based on the comic book The Darkness, created by Top Cow. The game story was written in collaboration with acclaimed comic-book author, Paul Jenkins.
  • Cinematic action: Experience extremely intense cinematic action in this gritty, first-person, action-adventure game with a horror twist—you are the horror!
  • Gruesome powers: Varying manifestations of the Darkness allow you to devour, impale, or implode your enemies. Cannibalize the corpses of your slain victims and transform them into Darklings—impish and hilarious demonites that commit unspeakable acts.
  • Light and dark: The absence of light feeds and replenishes the Darkness so seek the shadows wherever possible. Fight your way through the dark and seedy underbelly of New York City as well as the ethereal realm of the Darkness.
  • Playable Darklings: Play as Darklings in online multiplayer games and face other players in traditional multiplayer modes as well as all-new innovative game modes.
  • Renowned developers: The game was developed by the team behind the award winning The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay.
