A sequel to Starbreeze's hit title The Darkness is in the works, we learn this week, The Darkness 2 mooted in a panel discussion at Comic Con.

According to Newsarama, the eagerly awaited sequel will include a new plot written by Paul Jenkins.

Releases on the PC, and are expected from publisher and license holder Top Cow, who also reveal that are not the developer behind number two (thanks VG247).

We're not sure who is, then, but we're told Starbreeze are busy working on two new games for instead.
