THQ and Vigil have announced that there will be an original novel that will ship on the same date as the game in June 2012. The author penning the novel is Ari Marmell (The Conqueror’s Shadow, The Goblin Corps).
“In Darksiders: The Abomination Vault, the Horsemen of the Apocalypse (beings charged with maintaining the balance between the forces of Heaven and Hell) have uncovered a plot to resurrect ancient weapons of unimaginable power,” reads the official description by THQ. “Death, with the help of his compatriot War, must track down and neutralize the mysterious individuals behind the scheme before the entire universe is plunged into a devastating conflict.”
Random House Worlds, the Random House Publishing Group’s intellectual property creation and development group, will also help develop the IP bible for the Darksiders universe.
