2K Games have released a new developer interview video for The Darkness II, the demon-armed shooter sequel currently in the works at Canadian studio Digital Extremes. In addition to commentary by Project Director Sheldon Carter and Lead Designer Tom Galt describing the broader goals of the game and what changes to expect, the video also includes several new screenshots that show off the colourful comic-like art direction with plenty of gore.

The Darkness II is due on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in Spring 2011 (U.S. Fall).

Update: Here's some 720p snaps of the new screenshots found in the video (nb: these are screengrabs directly from the video so won't be quite as nice as the actual game).
