It's bad news day, apparently.

Following Capcom's cancellation of Mega Man Legends 3 and Sega's decision to push back both Crush 3D and Shinobi for 3Ds, 2K Games announced today The Darkness II will now arrive on February 7, 2012.

That's my birthday, by the way.

The Darkness II had been set to arrive on October 4--no more. 2K Games didn't provide a reason for the delay in the press release, preferring to point people towards the game's Comic-Con presence.

The sequel's in development at Digital Extremes, also developing the video game spin-off of J.J. Abrams' Star Trek. The studio's last major release was Dark Sector, and originally made a name for itself working alongside Epic Games on the Unreal Tournament franchise.

If you happen to be at Comic-Con, though, there will be playable kiosks of The Darkness II.

The rest of us will have to wait.
