THQ have today announced that all PC and XBox360 version pre-orders of Darksiders II Limited Edition placed via shopTHQ Australia will receive an additional two downloadable content drops as well as an exclusive set of in-game armor and free shipping.
The Darksiders II Season Pass will entitle customers who pre-order the game via shopTHQ Australia to download the 2nd and 3rd DLC packs when they become available at no cost. All pre-orders will also automatically be upgraded to the Limited Edition version of the game which includes the first DLC drop, Argul’s Tomb. These DLC packs will include significant new single player content. The first drop, Argul’s Tomb will become available roughly one month after the game ships. On top of the DLC content packs users who pre-order via shopTHQ Australia will also receive a code to unlock the exclusive Maker’s Armor and Scythe set. Featuring upgraded stats and a unique design this will help players make a start on Death’s quest.
While the Season Pass is not available for PlayStation 3 in Australia, shopTHQ will be offering the Limited Edition of Darksiders II on PS3, bundled with Saints Row 2 at no extra charge. The PC download version also includes post-apocalyptic shooter Metro 2033 at no extra charge.
Jim Huntley, Vice President of Global Brand Marketing had this to say:
We are excited to be able to reward customers who pre-order the game via shopTHQ with these great incentives. Not only will they get a unique armor set at launch, but they will also get significant free content for months to come. And while the Season Pass is not available on PlayStation 3 in Australia, we think PS3 owners will enjoy the opportunity to play another THQ title in Saints Row 2 at no extra cost.
Darksiders II is scheduled for release on both the PC and home video game consoles during August, with a Wii U version scheduled for release during the games launch window.
