Darkest Dungeon II will test your mettle and drive you to the brink of madness.
Armor yourself with purpose and provision your party for the journey ahead. It will be arduous.
Darkest Dungeon II is a loving interpretation of the game’s signature style in 3D, with hand-drawn textures, bringing more life to the characters and amp up the fx, while preserving the classic DD combat presentation.
The basic configuration of 4 heroes/4 monsters and two trinkets per hero is still true, but there have been significant changes to the base mechanics, stats, and so on.
Red Hook announced that Darkest Dungeon II is arriving to Playstation 5 and PlayStation 4 on July 15, 2024.
The base game as well as the DLC ‘The Binding Blade’ and the Oblivion bundle - containing the base game and DLC - will be available as cross-buy across PS4 and PS5.
"We have been very eager to bring Darkest Dungeon II to PlayStation players," said Tyler Sigman, Design Director for Red Hook Studios. "The game feels great with DualSense Controller–we’ve been able to add touches like feeling the heartbeat of a hero on death’s door, or the rumble of the stagecoach’s wheels as it hits a trap. Darkest Dungeon I was fortunate to find a strong community on PlayStation and we hope the same proves true with the sequel."
In addition to the main game, the DLC “The Binding Blade” will also be available to Playstation players. Key features of this content pack are the addition of two playable heroes, The Duelist and The Crusader, as well as the roaming mini-boss The Warlord.
Darkest Dungeon II and the Oblivion Bundle will be available for pre-order from April 18th, 2024.
