The Darkness II is a first person shooter released on February 7, 2012, for PlayStation 3, PC, and Xbox 360. Digital Extremes developed the game, 2K Games published it, and it is the sequel in The Darkness series.

Players can take on the campaign alone or team up with others in co-operative play. Multiplayer modes are also included alongside the single player experience.
