The Darkness is Starbreeze Studios' follow up to the acclaimed Chronicles of Riddick and today, three fresh screens have slithered in to creep out our Monday morning.
In the comic-to-game adaptation, you'll take on the role of mafia hitman Jackie Estacado, who inherits a demonic power known only as The Darkness - which basically allows him to extend dark tentacles from his body and use them as weapons, or to reach things on very, very tall shelves (okay we made that last bit up).
Anyway those shady appendages will certainly come in handy as Jackie tries to survive the attentions of both the police and his relatives in the Francetti Mafia in this horror shocker.
Scheduled to appear on both Xbox 360 and PS3, The Darkness should certainly be a cracker if it lives up to Riddick's illustrious heritage and might have Alone in the Dark, and possibly even Resi casting nervous looks over their shoulders as it's set to debut before the end of this year.
