Darksiders II Bonus Content Unlocked by Playing Darksiders I

Players of the first Darksiders will be rewarded with extra equipment when you play the sequel later this year, says THQ.

If you've just played the first game, you'll receive a level five legendary armour piece known as the Pauldron of the Horsemen, which increases all of Death's stats and critical damage in the sequel.

If you completed the original, you will get the rather awesome sounding Chaos Fang – a new scythe that increases Death's damage.

The items are unlocked based on the achievements/trophies you have unlocked in the first game.

The company said it wanted to reward our loyal community who has supported Vigil Games and THQ since the day Darksiders was announced".

Darksiders 2 is due later this year on Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U and PC.
