You’ll get to play as a psychotic midget in the next Darkness game

If there’s one thing most people remember about the first Darkness game, its that main character Jackie Estacado was often accompanied by several of his darkness-spawned minions. Players could use them in various ways throughout that game, and they were a lively bunch of insane murderers.

With the sequel due next year, players once again play as Estacado, but this time, we’re going to get to indulge in some height-challenged murder shenanigans as well, as we step into the darkness-spawned shoes of a darkling.

According to Joystiq, players will have to solve several puzzles during Jackie Estacado’s mission of vengeance, and some situations will require him to send a darkling off to do some dirty work.

They’re context-sensitive scenarios, and players will have to avoid bright lights and enemies, while finding the right path to let Jackie into locked areas. Enemies can be taken out with a quick stealth attack, making these puzzle environments a bit of a combat zone as well.

It sounds like a great idea in practice, and much like the hacking mini-game in Deus Ex Human Revolution, it sounds damn addictive as well. The Darkness 2 is due out early next year on all major platforms.
