Sequel to The Darkness accidentally confirmed?
From what I can make out from the badly-translated article from Xbox 360 Only (only?), it appears that top Cow kinda, sorta accidentally let slip that Starbreeze was working on a sequel to the game based off of the excellent comic series.
The error apparently came from someone at top Cow Comics, who let slip in an e-mail (and I apologize for AltaVista):
And yes, The Darkness game will property a sequel. It may be late 2008 or 2009!
…if my interpretation of English is anywhere NEAR where I hope, I think what this employee said was that we can expect The Darkness 2, a direct sequel to the original, in late ‘08/early ‘09… I think. The site that broke this story is in Dutch, so I’m doing what I can here.
Either way, if true, I am psyched. When I heard about the first Darkness game, I was very happy. It’s not often you see lesser-known comic licenses get turned into games or films (exception being ‘A History of Violence’), and I hope it’s something more studios think about in the future.

First game was the best PS3 game. I can only hope this one is as good and will be cross-platform
