THQ today announced that the second downloadable content pack for Darksiders II will be available to download on October 30.

The Abyssal Forge is a living machine designed to harness the unfocussed dark power of the Abyss and create the most powerful legendary weapons. The Maker who built this abomination, known only as the Mad Smith, was shunned by his own people and sealed away in the Shadow Lands with his creation. However, the forge hasn’t remained dormant all those years of captivity; it has constructed a vast army and now threatens all creation.

The swamp-like Shadow Lands added by this DLC is a new gameplay zone with an entirely new visual look, including two new dungeons, new enemies, secrets to uncover and unique legendary loot to collect. Tailored towards the most competent Darksiders II players, the Abyssal Forge will test your metal against the hardest enemies and puzzles yet.

The Abyssal Forge is available to download on Xbox 360 and PC worldwide as well as PS3 in North America on Tuesday Oct. 30. The European PS3 version will go live the next day on Wednesday Oct. 31. This DLC will be priced at 800 MS Points / $9.99.

Darksiders II is available for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and PC, with a WiiU version scheduled for release on Nov. 18. Get more info on the game with our Darksiders II review.
