We knew already that Darkness II was gory. That it was filled with M-Rated gore and gunplay where people died in visceral flurries of blood. But we had no clue just how deep it could go until we saw this trailer. Watch this grisly/creative new trailer to see just how many ways protagonist Jackie Estacado’s shadowy friends can rip apart those unlucky enough to cross their path.

Wow, after the second one of those we just felt bad for the guy Jackie was killing in self-defense. And we don’t think we’ll ever be the same after learning what an “Assecution” is. Though even the most squeamish have to appreciate all the interesting carnage the developers dreamed up. Check out our recent preview if you’d like to get a little deeper with next year’s horror FPS.
