In a speech at IGDA Leadership Forum, THQ's Danny Bilson offered up some more information about Darksiders 2, Joystiq reports. It seems like the next game will feature a brand new protagonist and takes place at the same time as the events in the original.
"When we do the Darksiders sequel, it'll be a different character and take place simultaneously to the other story. There's only one apocalypse - I couldn't very well have four different apocalypses, one for each rider. It has some new mechanics and some very robust features that differentiate it a lot and grow it from the first game because you have to build on the first one, you can't repeat it. I think that's very important in franchise-building."
