New Video of 2K's Upcoming Game The Darkness Demonstrates the Power of the Black Hole

Brace yourself – the Black Hole will suck you in

2K has released a new video from The Darkness that illustrates the force of the Black Hole, a skill that sucks anyone nearby into its grasp and spins them around violently. One of the more devastating abilities in The Darkness, this feature allows players to open whirling vortexes, trapping enemies and objects alike. A single Black Hole opened in a room full of enemies can clear the area in moments, making it an excellent weapon for attacks on Uncle Paulie’s men and the buildings they are defending.

Developed by award-winning developer of The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay, Starbreeze Studios, The Darkness is a next-generation, first-person action game that features an immersive and gritty storyline written in collaboration with famed comic-book writer, Paul Jenkins (also of Civil War: Frontline). Set in the dark and seedy underbelly of New York City, players experience the role of mafia hitman Jackie Estacado, heir to "The Darkness," an ancient power that awakens within him on his 21st birthday. Jackie must use traditional weapons as well as learn to command his terrible new powers to seek revenge on his own crime family. The Darkness is based on the popular comic of the same name published by Top Cow Publishing and created by Marc Silvestri and Paul Jenkins.

The Darkness will be available at the end of June for Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3.
