Jackie Estacado managed to bottle up The Darkness after the events of the first game, but in the upcoming sequel, the supernatural force wants out, and in the latest trailer for The Darkness II, we discover someone wants to give it a helping hand.

The Darkness II is being developed for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PCs. The game is set to ship on October 8.
