Darksiders Aussie Preorder Offer Will Cleave You In Two

Kotaku AU

warTHQ has revealed details of the exclusive preorder offer for Darksiders, the apocalyptic action/adventure set for release on January 7.

If you preorder Darksiders at EB Games – and only EB Games – you’ll score yourself the ‘Guide to the Underworld’, a 100-page book featuring:

* Darksiders Graphic Novel – Prequel based upon comic artist and Vigil Games founder Joe Madureira’s vision of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
* ‘Joe Mad’ Concept Art – Exclusive in-depth look at the creation of the epic Darksiders
* Exclusive Fold Out Poster – Original concept art illustrated by Joe Madureira
* War’s Weapons Feature – Master the weapons of Darksiders with this exclusive guide

Plus, you’ll get a code to unlock an in-game weapon called the Harvester, described as:

“This powerful weapon belongs to the rider of the pale horse. Its enormous, fearsome blade can cleave through flesh, bone, and even the ethereal demons of Hell. Though its jagged blade is deadly, the power locked within makes its master like unto a god.”

It’s $108 RRP at EB. Here, have another screenshot.

        Setting foot in a sleazy establishment like EB gives me cold sweats. Their current ‘Trade in your dead consoles’ initiative also makes me ill.

    I said it before and I’ll say it again – The Darksiders main character looks exactly like Arthas from Warcracft III.

    Hello familiar fantasy game trope!

    of all the stuff people could boycott
    why not boycott EB? they are a cancerous pustule on the face of gaming retail.

    Can’t we preorder and then price match on the day of release?

    Is there some rule stopping me from doing that?

    Please tell me because I reeeeally want all those Joe Mad goodies.
