Seriously, who do they think this is going to affect? Anyone who won't buy the game because it doesn't look gritty or dark enough isn't going to be impressed just because now the cartoon angel has a scowl.
Half of me wishes they'd just go all out and give it completely different entirely unrepresentative box art like they did for NES games in the 80's. At least then their attempt to make it dark and "cool" would come across as "all in" instead of a pointless gesture. I mean yeah it'd still be stupid, but it would at least be some effort. Maybe something like this:

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
