Vigil Games has revealed that it’s working hard on some major patches for its recently launched Darksiders 2 hack and slash experience, confirming that three different updates would be rolled out onto the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 platforms.

Darksiders II came out earlier this month and delivered an impressive experience that combined hack and slash gameplay with complex RPG mechanics.

We praised it in our review but also mentioned that the game still has quite a few issues, including various bugs, especially on the PC platform.

Developer Vigil isn’t sitting idly, as the studio has confirmed that it’s working on new patches for each version of the game.
