'Dungeons 4' To Get Not Another Multiverse In December, Adds New Mission, Skirmish Map And More

Dungeons 4 keeps the spirit of its dungeon management/simulation predecessors, but everything is now bigger, better, and with even more dynamic Evilness.

Once upon a time in a realm far, far away, everything was lush and green. The unicorns mingled among the trees and the elves and humans lived peacefully in harmony with their surroundings. Yet somewhere at the edge of a clearing half-hidden among the trees, obscured by a rising veil of fog in the hazy half-darkness of a weather-beaten hut, a shape huddles over a large and ominously glowing crystal ball. A mumbling voice sings ancient formulae, urging the swirling glowing mists inside the crystal to part and give an insight into the future.

“All is in flux, nothing seems certain. Come, oh vagaries of space and time, separate the veil and show us what is yet to come”, the voice grumbles with the hint of an eye faintly reflecting the glow in front of its hood. The shape’s audience, only barely visible in the dim light, leans in closer and listens intently. “Time ebbs and flows, forming pools and wrinkles… but when the mists part only vague images rise from beyond the veil. Shhhh—don’t come too close, you don’t want to disturb my delicate magical weavings do you?” The shape, still bent over the orb, mutters and shoos the other back a bit more into the shadows. “Ah, now it seems to be clearing a little. I can see… something… several somethings, hints of voices echoing in the haze. A baby, something happening on Hill Doom and the coming together of the Council of Snots – what could all this mean?”

In a flash, the light reflected in the eye turns red and a distant evil laughter echoes through the woods. Stay tuned for the return of the Soothsaying Evil!


Kalypso Media and Realmforge Studios have announced a brand-new dimension-bending DLC for their hit dungeon management simulation game, Dungeons 4! 

In the new DLC, Dungeons 4 – Not Another Multiverse, Thalya finds herself thrust into an alternate reality where she must join forces with her holy stepbrother Tristan to fight for their return to the world they know and... tolerate. The DLC will feature a brand new three-mission campaign, a new skirmish map, and the ability to build and control hero buildings across the Overworld and use them to recruit and train heroes.

Rejoice, advents of Evil for the Absolute Evil have been hard at work in its laboratories crafting a brand new DLC for Thalya and the Little Snots to enjoy. Dungeons 4 – Not Another Multiverse follows Thalya and her heroic (ew) stepbrother Tristan as they are thrown through a portal emerging in another reality. In this alternative universe, Thalya finds herself on the wrong side of Evil as the demons and horde creatures refuse to obey and begin to attack her and Tristan, leaving the rival siblings with no choice but to join forces. 

The deliciously evil new mini campaign explores the alternate universe in three new missions, and in the first mission even allows players to control Tristan and harness the power of Good (as distasteful as it may be...) Across the DLC campaign, Thalya and Tristan will need to work together using their newly acquired “Team Good” skills to return to their own universe, so that they can continue to beat the living Snots out of each other again. For the first time in the series’ history, players will be able to build an Army of Good and construct 15 different buildings in the Overworld, allowing them to recruit and train hero units. The DLC also features a new skirmish map “Dynamic Sibling Duo” and a new Heroic Outfit for Thalya so she can blend in with the virtuous hero community in her newly formed and might we add, temporary alliance. 

Key Features:

  • When Evil fights Evil and joins forces with Good, is Good being Evil? You can revel in this philosophical question while, for the first time in the series’ history, in Dungeons 4 – Not Another Multiverse you control Tristan, his spells and his hero minions to venture against a common adversary, who is somehow even MORE evil than Thalya. WHAT?
  • A Multiverse Right at your Partly-Evil Fingertips: A new mini-campaign, spanning 3 new and fully voiced missions leading you through the challenges of a new multiverse while working together with the pesky stepbrother of Thalya.
  • Leave a new mark on the Overworld: With your freshly formed – and still bizarre, I care to add – bond, you are now able to build 15 hero buildings on the Overworld, where you can recruit and upgrade heroes to strengthen your Army of Good (did I really write this? Yuck)
  • Skirmish Time: Train your freshly acquired “Team Good” skills and find out how to really work and slay together in a brand-new skirmish map “Dynamic Sibling Duo”.
  • Blend in with the Good! To blend into the hero community (again, this is born out of pure necessity, we are forced to emphasize) Thalya gets a new, heroic (blurgh) outfit.

Dungeons 4 - Not Another Multiverse releases on PCXbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, on December 10th with the base Dungeons 4 game available to play now with Game Pass.

The Absolute Evil and its trusted *cough* servant, the Dark Elf Thalya, return in Dungeons 4 after the events of its fabulous predecessor to bring about their triumph over the forces of good once more.

Build a cozy and comfortable Dungeon to suit your creatures’ needs and rule over them, then send them out into the Overworld to kindly remind the good people living there that the Absolute Evil rules over their lands. Gather your Evilness in new and dynamic ways and unleash it upon the lush green forests and plains of the Overworld to turn them over to the dark side. But make sure that your Dungeon is well-secured by traps and defended by your creatures, for those pesky Overworlders won’t just twiddle their thumbs while you turn their land into the Absolute Evil’s most pleasurable holiday paradise.

But what is that noise? “Gold, gold, gold and gems, gold and gems and gold!” The ancient song echoes throughout the underworld, accompanied by the clanging steel of hammers and axes. The Dwarves have arrived to claim their share of the abundant resources and together with the Elves and Humans of the Overworld, they send out their raiding parties to find the Dungeon’s heart.

Key Features:

  • Everything is better with Dwarves: The Dwarves have arrived to build their underground strongholds and the hardy little fellows (although they don’t like being called that) compete with the Ever-Expanding Evil for space and resources. 
  • It makes your Dungeon great again: Dungeons are up to four times larger than before and there are many more creatures who wait for the All-Commanding Evil’s orders to conquer the Overworld. Now the time has come for massive armies and truly sprawling dungeons! 
  • Ripe for the taking: The Overworld is bigger than ever before. Gain Evilness by beating Mini Bosses like the obsessively harmonious Unicorn and use it to transform the Overworld into stunning biomes of pure evil.  
  • New and shiny: An ability-based Perk system for Thalya, the Absolute Evil’s trusted *cough* and most loyal subordinate, grants her impressive new powers. The Absolute Evil can now enjoy taking over the world, governing the creatures and slapping subordinates even more with the customizable Evil Hand. 
  • Minions, everywhere: The Horde, the Undead and the Demons wait to do the Absolute Evil’s bidding, with more creatures than ever eagerly following the gesturing Evil’s orders, and Snots will play a much more prominent role this time. 
  • Many ways to tell the story: A long campaign, narrated by the beloved English Narrator from previous titles, as well as several skirmish maps all to challenge your rule as the Absolute Evil. 
  • Change the world: Spread your Evilness across the Overworld to bring lush and green environments over to the dark side, now shining even more vibrantly and beautifully evil as you spread your evilness across many new biomes. 
  • Work together, slay together: 2-player co-op multiplayer with both players managing one Dungeon together. All skirmish maps and the campaign are playable in co-op. 

Dungeons 4 is available for Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam).
