Starbreeze CEO Johan Kristiansson has confirmed to VG247 that his company isn’t involved with the recently announced Darkness sequel.

“I heard that there were talks about a Darkness sequel, but Starbreeze is not involved in anything like that right now. We are busy on two projects together with EA,” he said.

Bummer. Here’s hoping Top Cow can find an equally skilled developer to handle the game.

A sequel to Starbreeze Studios’ sleeper-hit The Darkness is officially in the works, says Newsarama. The news was announced during a panel at last weekend’s Comic Con.

The tentacle-tastic mobster drama’s story will be written by Paul Jenkins.

In addition, the first installment in the Darkness franchise has gone platinum, and will soon hit the $29.99 price point on both Xbox 360 and PS3.

Granted, this sequel was basically confirmed last year during — what else — Comic Con, but the news is still exciting nonetheless.

More hot tentacle-on-mobster action? Yes please.

No release date yet. We’ll keep you posted.

Comic Con’s been and gone now, and threw up what looks to be a roundabout confirmation of a second Darkness game from Top Cow. Not really sure how Starbreeze is involved, but there we are. From TheQuarterBin:

There is a Darkness video game sequel in the works. They made the announcement saying, “We can’t say Darkness and video game sequel in the same sentence. So, Darkness. Wink. Sequel.”

So there you have it. Hopefully this time it’ll be more than walking around really slowly in deserted streets with a snake on your head.
