Red Hook Studios has announced that Darkest Dungeon II fans are invited to kill their heroes horribly thanks to the launch of the 1.0 version of the game. Players can now purchase a copy of the acclaimed game for PC via Epic Games Store and Steam. Players can buy a limited-time bundle that offers both Darkest Dungeon and Darkest Dungeon II for 25% off. In addition, Darkest Dungeon II can be purchased as a standalone title for $39.99.
To celebrate the full retail release of the game, Red Hook developers sent out a new trailer that peeks at gameplay, features, characters, setting, and more.
New features for the 1.0 release
- Five Campaigns (“Confessions”), each with its own horrifying boss and pervasive mechanics.
- A roster of 12 heroes, including the recently revealed fan-favorite: The Flagellant. All but the mercenary Bounty Hunter feature 5-part backstories with interactive chapters, each of which confers a persistent skill unlock.
- Four major regions to traverse and explore in addition to the Valley, the dangerous but rewarding Sluice, and unique Mountains per Confession.
- Extensive metagame progression hub (“The Altar of Hope”) with strategic and cosmetic unlocks.
- Over 60 Steam and EGS achievements.
- 10 different companion pets, each with different run-defining properties.
- Optional thematic difficulty modifiers in the form of the Radiant and Infernal Flame equippable items for those who want less or more challenge.
“Darkest Dungeon II eschews a conventional sequel, delivering a fresh but familiar experience that will challenge new and returning players alike. We grew our studio to deliver on our vision for the game, and throughout early access, our team has worked tirelessly to build and polish the experience. We are very proud of the team’s work, and we hope your heroes die horribly many times on your road to redemption.” said Chris Bourassa & Tyler Sigman, Co-Founders of Red Hook Studios Inc.
