For Darksiders fans, today's new trailer from Vigil shows off a lot more of the game-world while also revealing some tasty story snippets from the anticipated sequel, including one nugget from creator Joe Madureira, that really sums up the basic goal of Death, War's brother, throughout the adventure.

If you're keen on simply waiting for the game to reach retail so as not to spoil the experience for yourself, you should probably avoid this video. Though, as Vigil has pointed out often, Darksiders II is an absolutely massive game, so there's a pretty good chance we're seeing less than 1% of everything on offer here.

Darksiders II is due to arrive on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 this August.
