“I get that question asked probably about once a week [Eternal Darkness sequel]. You know we love Eternal Darkness. We’re big fans of it. I think the future is bright in that regard, but there’s no comments to make whatsoever.” – Silicon Knights president Denis Dyack
An Eternal Darkness sequel has been discussed for a number of years. I know the sales of the first game weren’t too impressive, but it seems as though Silicon Knights isn’t opposed to creating a second game…I know that I’d be ecstatic if it were to happen.

It feels very odd saying that anything is too vicious for MadWorld. In a game that features some of the most over-the-top violence, it’s hard to believe that the developers would hold back. Yet, there was in fact one finishing move that the team cut out, which would have appeared in the the fight with Jude the Dude. You can check it out in the video, but be warned….It is very, very gruesome.
You can also view the game’s true finishing move for this fight, which we’ve posted below.
