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.

Darkest Dungeon creator Red Hook Studios has proudly announced as part of today's Nintendo Direct that Darkest Dungeon II, their grim turn-based roadtrip RPG, will release on Nintendo Switch on July 15th, 2024.

Players can now pre-order the game in the Nintendo eShop for $39.99, 38,99€, £34.00 with a launch discount of 15%.

The upcoming release on Nintendo Switch will arrive alongside Sony’s PlayStation 4 and 5 versions, with all current updates and DLC.  

"We're thrilled to bring Darkest Dungeon II to the Nintendo Switch, offering players the chance to experience the intense strategic depth and atmospheric horror of our game wherever they go.” says Tyler Sigman, Design Director for Red Hook Studios. “The Switch's unique capabilities perfectly complement the immersive journey through the darkest reaches of our world."

In addition to the main game, the DLC 'The Binding Blade' will also be available on Nintendo Switch. Players have the option to purchase the Oblivion bundle - containing the base game and DLC - on the Nintendo eShop. Key features of its update include the addition of two playable heroes, The Duelist and The Crusader, as well as the roaming mini-boss The Warlord. A major new campaign game mode, ‘Kingdoms’, will arrive as a free content update later this year. This mode challenges players in a desperate race against the clock to find and defeat a monstrous threat before it overwhelms and destroys the Kingdom.
