New Darksiders II DLCs – Torchlight II, DOTA 2, CS: GO & XCOM: Enemy Unknown Updates Released


THQ has released some new DLCs for Darksiders 2. PC gamers can go ahead and purchase the Mortis Pack, Rusanov’s Axe, Van Der Schmash Hammer, Fletcher’s Crow Hammer, Mace Maximus, Angel of Death, Deadly Despair and Shadow of Death packs. As the titles suggest, these new DLCs are basically new weapons, armors and skills. We should note that these packs are not included in the Season Pass of Darksiders 2, meaning that you won’t get them if you purchase it.
In other news, we got some new updates for Torchlight II, DOTA 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and XCOM: Enemy Unknown. As you may have guessed, these patches fix a number of issues and introduce new features to some of them.
