Darksiders 2 to be a launch title for the Wii U

Speaking in an interview with DigitalSpy, lead designer Hayden Dalton has today confirmed that Darksiders 2 will be a launch title for the Wii U, he also revealed that the game has a small team working on a "unique way" to use the consoles controller.

"It's basically the core game, but then with added abilities to do certain things that you can't do on the other consoles." said Dalton.

"One of the things that we did, when we were originally going to show it off, was that you could equip stuff directly. So, for instance, I could be running along and I could click on another piece and I could put it on as I'm running through the game."

"That's huge, it's not breaking up the game in a way, I'm not going into a menu and assigning it, I'm literally just tapping as I'm playing. We're not basically heavily changing the core game to support the control system, but the control system will be an enhancement of the core game."

Darksiders II will be available on June 26th in North America and June 29th across Europe for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. Nintendo has yet to confirm a release date for the Wii U.
