The excellent console game Darksiders was all set to become an excellent PC game in June, too, but official word from THQ today has revealed that the beige-box version of this action adventure title will only become available near the end of September this year, with a special ‘Hell Book edition’ included.

Now expected to launch on September 16th in the US, and September 24th in the UK and Europe, Darksiders on the PC will be available in a Hell Book edition, which comes complete with “many items to excite both fans of Darksiders and PC gamers alike,” including a comic book, art cards created by Joe Madueira, and a soundtrack CD.

It wasn’t mentioned whether or not this would be the only version of Darksiders on the PC, or an additional ‘special’ edition.
