Darksiders II Deathinitive — Steam Gift

Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition: Death rides, with every DLC on board

Darksiders II is the story of Death, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, setting out to clear his accused brother War and bring a wiped-out humankind back to life. The Deathinitive Edition is that same 2012 game, but bundled into one complete remaster: every DLC built in, rebalanced loot and noticeably sharper visuals. Here you buy it as a Steam gift that our bot delivers straight to your account.

What "Deathinitive" means and how it differs from the original

When the original Darksiders II launched, its expansions and packs were sold separately over time. The Deathinitive Edition cuts out that hassle — everything is already inside. The team at Gunfire Games rebuilt the render engine for better lighting and shadows, reworked level and character graphics, and retuned the balance and loot distribution so progression feels fairer. In short, it's the most complete and polished version of Darksiders II that exists.

What's included in the edition

The Deathinitive Edition packs the base game and all of its DLC, so there's nothing extra to buy. The set includes:

• the story expansion Argul's Tomb — extra dungeons and plot;
• The Abyssal Forge and The Demon Lord Belial — major DLC campaigns with new areas and bosses;
• armor and weapon packs: Maker Armor Set, Mortis Pack, Rusanov's Axe, Van Der Schmash Hammer, Fletcher's Crow Hammer, Mace Maximus and more;
• bonus missions Death Rides, Angel of Death, Deadly Despair, Shadow of Death.

Altogether that's more than 30 hours of dark fantasy adventure with loot, leveling and spectacular scythe combat.

The gameplay you're in for

Darksiders II blends several genres and somehow makes it click: at its core it's a hack-n-slash with flashy combos as Death, layered with loot collecting and comparison that feels almost action-RPG, skill trees for two combat styles, and large open zones full of platforming, puzzles and exploration in the spirit of classic adventures. Death is nimbler and faster than his brother War from the first game, so combat plays differently — more about mobility and combinations.

How you'll get the game: a Steam gift

This isn't a key — it's a Steam Gift. You provide your Steam friend invite link and your account region, place the order, and our bot adds itself as your friend, sends the gift, and leaves your friends list once it's delivered. You don't need to accept the friend request manually, and Steam Guard isn't required either. Delivery usually takes a couple of minutes from checkout.

Region and the one condition to check

Because this is a gift, two things are worth checking ahead of time. First: your Steam account region must match the gift region, otherwise Steam simply won't let you accept it. Second: Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition must not already be in your account's library, because Steam won't let you accept a gift for a game you already own. Get both right and it all goes smoothly.

If you love the series

Darksiders is a whole saga about the Horsemen. If you want to play through it in order or just grab more, check out its siblings: Darksiders Warmastered Edition (the first game as War), Darksiders III (as Fury) and Darksiders Genesis (a top-down, co-op take on the world). Each entry stands on its own, but together they form the full picture of the Apocalypse.

Story and world: why fans love the second game

Darksiders II runs in parallel with the events of the first game. While War stands accused before the Charred Council, his brother Death takes matters into his own hands, traveling through grim and fantastical realms to erase the accusation and restore humankind. Along the way you meet the Makers, ancient constructs, angels and demons, and the ending ties the story back to the first game. It's a rare case of a loot-driven action game that also tells a coherent, mythic tale about duty, guilt and redemption.

Where to play: PC and Steam Deck

Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition is a full PC version for Windows on Steam. By modern standards it's light on requirements, runs great on mid-range setups, and feels at home on a gamepad — which makes it a fine fit for handheld PCs like the Steam Deck. Controls are equally comfortable on keyboard and mouse or a controller, since the combat was built with a gamepad in mind.

Quick questions before you buy

Do you need Steam Guard? No. Is the game in Russian? Yes — Russian subtitles and interface, with English voice-over. Do you have to buy DLC separately? No, it's all inside the edition. What if the bot didn't add you? Most likely a closed profile or an expired link — allow friend requests and send a fresh one, and we'll retry.
