The Darkness is an upcoming video game for the Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3, and Nintendo Wii consoles based on the comic book of the same name.

Story

On the eve of his 21st birthday, the player takes control of mafia hitman Jackie Estacado who is suddenly possessed by the malevolent powers of The Darkness. Although his supernatural entity allows him to wreak havoc on his enemies, the Darkness also has a powerful will of its own and Estacado must now learn how to control it. The gameplay uniquely blends both modern crime drama and supernatural horror through both first-person and third-person perspectives. The environments are highly destructible allowing players to explode the scenery of New York to wreak vengeance on his former mafia employers and eventually defeat the terrifying creatures of The Otherworld, a parallel reality where the Darkness dwells.
