It looks like Darksiders II is firmly back on the radar following last week's dev diary - which you can view again below - as these nine new screenshots show more from the foreboding Darksiders sequel, starring Death. The masked, vengeful scythe-wielder is out to clear War's name and his agility and skill is just the tip of the iceberg.

Death also has a whole array of pointy things beyond his trademark scythe - that he's also able to split into two and dual-wield - including a hulking great axe and a pair of fearsome-looking, gnarled - but no doubt razor-sharp - hand-held claws.

As well as a look at some of Death's new weapons, there's also a few images of the bony life-taker facing down some massive monsters, more of which can be seen in the gallery where you'll find all nine new screenshots. Darksiders II is out later this year.
