2K Games signs Mike Patton for Darkness II
Musician and voice actor reprises his role as the ultimate evil
2K Games announced today that acclaimed singer, songwriter and voice actor, Mike Patton, will reprise his role as "Darkness" in The Darkness II. The avant-garde rock artist, known as the front man of Faith No More, Mr. Bungle and Peeping Tom, lends his unique voice acting talents as The Darkness – a supernatural force of chaos and destruction. Additionally, 2K Games will be showcasing The Darkness II, for the first time at the Game Developers Conference 2011.
“The story behind The Darkness II wouldn’t be complete or authentic without the character of The Darkness,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “Mike Patton brings a completely unique perspective to the role which is essential in creating the world of The Darkness.”
Players control Jackie Estacado, who inherited the demonic powers of The Darkness on his 21st birthday from his father who carried the curse before him. By staying in the shadows and avoiding the light, Jackie can summon the tremendous powers of The Darkness to eviscerate his enemies with deadly Demon Arms and supernatural abilities, all while enduring the taunts and goading of the evil that consumes him.
“It feels really good to be the bad guy, and The Darkness is as bad as it gets,” said Mike Patton. “I’ve read through the script and Jackie is going to be a brutally tortured soul. I’m looking forward to making his life a living hell.”
Based on the supernatural horror comic book series created by Top Cow Productions, The Darkness II will be coming to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PC in fall 2011.
