With the dissolution of THQ and Vigil Games, the franchise faced a moment of uncertainty shortly after the release of this game. Most of the staff originally involved is now working for Crytek, which placed a bid for the Darksiders IP in the auction of THQ's back catalogue in April, 2013. However, the IP was ultimately obtained by Nordic Games. Nordic remained in touch with the original developers to continue the series, and later released an UpdatedRerelease called ''Darksider II: Deathinitive Edition'' for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, UsefulNotes/XboxOne, UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch, and [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]] through UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} and [[Website/GOGDotCom GOG.com]]. This rerelease features updated visuals and gameplay rebalances, alongside bundling all of the DLC into the package.

* DegradedBoss: Gharn, the boss of The Cauldron, is a hard-hitting corrupted [[{{Golem}} Construct]] and the most powerful one you've fought so far. Later on, it's recast as a recurring MiniBoss referred to as "Construct Champion" with almost all the same moves and dangers aside from its [[HavingABlast explosion move]], with Death even being able to fight two at once! And that's not even mentioning "Ghorn", a boss of an optional side quest who's effectively a beefed up [[UndergroundMonkey red]] Gharn [[MagmaMan with lava]], a few new unique moves, and [[AxCrazy more personality]]. {{Justified|Trope}} in that Gharn was never a unique Construct in the first place and just one of his type who had the luxury of a name to be told.
