Producer of The Darkness comics, Top Cow Comics accidentally leaked information to a Dutch rapper that a sequel to The Darkness videogame is currently being developed by Starbreeze Studios. The first iteration was a pretty big success, and thus a sequel is inevitable, but we’re still awaiting official confirmation.

The Dutch rapper called Lycan Strife created a rap about The Darkness a month ago and is friends with someone at Starbreeze apparently. The soon-to-be ex-employee told him that a sequel is currently in the works for next-gen consoles and should ship in late 2008 or perhaps early 2009. Mr. Strife ‘leaked’ this information to Dutch gaming website Xbox 360 Only, who obviously posted it on their website. If you click on the link of Lycan Strife’s website, be warned that it might hurt your ears severely.

And yes, The Darkness game will have a sequel. It may be late 2008 or 2009!

The credibility of a Dutch rapper leaves a lot to be desired unfortunately, so we’ll classify this post as a rumor while we await official confirmation.

Thanks to Steve Perry for submitting this news.
