On his 21st birthday, mafia hit man Jackie Estacado is possessed by an ancient demonic force called The Darkness. This further complicates his relationships with his mafia family, a corrupt police department and his childhood love Jenny.
What is happening now
The Darkness is a first-person shooter that originally launched on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2007. The grim, gangster-themed title has recently seen renewed attention following the release of an unofficial PC port, created using source code from the original Xbox 360 version and compiled into a native Windows executable. The recompilation project, undertaken by a community modder, has reportedly reached a more polished state after initial iterations, making the decade-old console exclusive playable on PC for the first time through fan efforts rather than official re-release.
