Indie game studio Red Hook has announced the release of Darkest Dungeon II, the long-awaited sequel to their popular 2016 RPG. After almost two years in early access, the game will be available for purchase on the Epic Games Store and Steam starting on May 8th.
The new release will feature one additional playable character and the final two story acts, making it a significant update even for those who have already played through the early access version. Additionally, Red Hook has promised ongoing post-launch support for the game, including quality-of-life improvements, new monsters and hero skins, balance tuning, and mod support.
For those who own the original Darkest Dungeon on Steam, Red Hook is offering a limited-time discount on the new game. The studio has been working on Darkest Dungeon II for over five years, and fans have eagerly anticipated its release.
Red Hook has been praised for the dark, immersive world they created in the first Darkest Dungeon game, which featured a unique combat system and challenging gameplay. With the promise of ongoing updates and mod support, fans of the series can look forward to even more hours of exciting, difficult gameplay in the sequel.
