Ever since Starbreeze Studios' The Darkness came out in 2007 there have been rumours floating around about a sequel, but nothing has come of it. Now Joystiq reports that Top Cow are working on rights issues to make the sequel happen. To me it doesn't sound like it is anywhere near production at this point, but hopefully it can be cleared up so development can start/continue.
"There are certain rights issues that we needed to clear up in order to move ahead with The Darkness 2. Those are getting cleared up. While there are no specific plans, it is definitely that is still on all of our minds," marketing director Atom! Freeman told Joystiq.
