THQ have announced that a 90 minute demo for Darksiders will be available for the Xbox 360 and PS3 next week.

The demo will feature the entire first dungeon encounter from the game known as the Twilight Cathedral. The level includes puzzles, new equipment and boss battles against the demo Jailer and the bat Tiamat.

Players will be able to download the demo from Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network on the 25th of February. Check out our previous coverage for screenshots, trailers and more information about the game if you like.

David Adams, General Manager of Vigil Games commented: “We are really pumped to be bringing a playable demo for Darksiders to Xbox 360 and PlayStation3. We really wanted to give gamers a true idea of the variety of gameplay that the game offers and so rather than just making a standard 20-minute demo version of the first few levels, we decided to give away this massive level and reveal the true essence of the game.”
