THQ has unveiled the full details about the upcoming Abyssal Forge pack for Darksiders 2, confirming that owners of the game will be able to venture on a whole new adventure next week, on October 30.

Darksiders 2 brought forth a great role-playing hack and slash experience back in August when it came out for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 platforms.

Now, as if its lengthy single-player campaign plus its Argul’s Tomb DLC wasn’t enough, THQ and developer Vigil Games are preparing a new add-on in the form of the Abyssal Forge expansion.

While it was unveiled earlier this week, it has now received a full description from THQ, so check it out below, via the Darksiders official website.

“The Abyssal Forge is a living machine designed to harness the unfocussed dark power of the Abyss and create the most powerful legendary weapons. The Maker who built this abomination, known only as the Mad Smith, was shunned by his own people and sealed away in the Shadow Lands with his creation. However, the forge hasn’t remained dormant all those years of captivity; it has constructed a vast army and now threatens all creation.”

“The vast swamp-like Shadow Lands, added by this DLC is a new gameplay zone with an entirely new visual look, including two challenging new dungeons, new enemies to best, secrets to uncover and unique legendary loot to collect. Tailored towards the most competent Darksiders II players, the Abyssal Forge will test your mettle against the hardest enemies and puzzles yet.”

The Abyssal Forge pack for Darksiders 2 will be released on October 30 for the PC and Xbox 360 worldwide, as well as for the PlayStation 3 in North America. European PS3 users, however, need to wait until October 31 to get the actual add-on.

The expansion will be priced at $9.99/€ or 9.99/800 MS Points.
