There is not one world, there are three. Heaven was intended for angels, while demons rule in Hell. The third world, the world between the two, is Earth, which was created for humans. And it was this world that first encountered one of the four horsemen. It was the horseman whose name is often spoken and who separates the victors from the vanquished. His name was War.
War lived up to its name, destroying this middle world and then disappearing. And as time passed, changes occurred. And another rider arrived on the scene, whose name inspires fear and separates the living from the dead. To speak his name is to believe in him. On his horse comes DEATH! And he will have to face the immortals...

Featuring a much larger world, a weapon and armor upgrade system, as well as larger and more difficult levels and a wide variety of new enemies and bosses, Darksiders II improves on every aspect of the original game.
