About Darkest Dungeon II
Darkest Dungeon II is a rogue-lite, turn-based road trip through a cursed world. Assemble a party, equip your stagecoach, and embark on a desperate quest across a decaying landscape to prevent an apocalypse of your own making. But the greatest threat may come from within.
A sequel to the critically acclaimed Darkest Dungeon, the game features all-new 3D visuals, a run-based road trip structure, an enhanced turn-based combat system, 14 playable heroes, five regions, five end bosses, and a metagame hub called “The Altar of Hope,” which offers persistent upgrades. Darkest Dungeon II first entered Early Access on the Epic Games Store in October 2021, with regular content updates shaped by community feedback. The first DLC, The Binding Blade, launched on December 11, 2023, and the full game was released digitally for consoles on July 15, 2024, to favorable reviews.
Upcoming Content – Coming Soon!
Darkest Dungeon II will continue to receive new content! Starting with PC and Mac in late 2024, both free and paid content updates will roll out to consoles in early 2025, including for those who purchase the physical edition.
A massive free update introduces a new stand-alone game mode called “Kingdoms,” where you defend your realm from new enemy factions. Travel across the land, upgrade your inns, and face the final boss. The first module, Hunger of the Beast Clan, tasks players with stopping the relentless onslaught of the ravenous beastmen.
Releasing alongside the first Kingdoms module is Darkest Dungeon II’s second paid DLC, Inhuman Bondage. This expansion introduces The Catacombs, a high-risk, high-reward mini-region where players face a new faction of slime-ridden enemies. The DLC also marks the return of The Abomination, a new playable hero with a unique battle mechanic that allows him to transform into a monstrous form—at the cost of spiraling stress!
