Not all of the game announcements from E3 are being unveiled at large press conferences. CVG reports that a sequel to Darksiders was confirmed last night at a THQ analyst meeting. “Darksiders 2 is coming,” said Core Games VP Danny Bilson. “We’ve green lit that. It’s well into production now, it’s out two years from now.”

Bilson also addressed how he plans to build the brand throughout the burgeoning series’ sequels. “[Darksiders] did about twice as much as Red Faction. It’s done pretty well. I believe that franchise building isn’t about a zillion units out of the gate, it’s about building a fan base, building a community of people that dig it, listening to them, doing what you think is good. The second will be twice as big as the first one and the third one you get to big numbers. That’s my strategy.”

So if you want more of War and the apocalypse, you only have to wait until 2012 when the actual end of the world comes. We know it’s true because we saw it in a John Cusack movie.

Last week brought word that the mystery code found in every new copy of Darksiders was worth a free copy of Red Faction: Guerilla. If you lost your code though, there’s still hope.

If you have a new copy of the game but no code, fill out this form to collect your prize. Bear in mind that you’ll also need to send in the purchase receipt as well as the package barcode.

Doing so will earn you a free copy of Red Faction: Guerilla and a “Hellbook” disc filled with art and other assets. The whole package should arrive in roughly four weeks.

This offer is only available for U.S. residents and ends March 7. If you’re still not sure about Darksiders, a demo will be out February 25.
