The full version of the dark RPG Darkest Dungeon II will be released today. The Early Access edition has been warmly received, so many players are waiting for version 1.0.

Version 1.0 of Darkest Dungeon 2, the dark RPG from Red Hook and a sequel to the popular 2016 game, will debut today. The title is offered in early access exclusively on Epic Games Store.

  1. Darkest Dungeon II was prepared with PC in mind.
  2. You can still buy the early version at Epic Games Store. With the release of version 1.0, the price will be raised.
  3. The release of version 1.0 will simultaneously be the game's debut on Steam. In this store Darkest Dungeon will be unlocked at 6 p.m. CET.

Compared to the early version, build 1.0 will offer numerous new features, including an additional character and completed acts 4 and 5 of the campaign with story mode ending video. In addition, the game will be more accessible to newcomers - the first expedition is to be in the form of a Prologue with shortened gameplay and numerous hints. Tutorials will also be heavily expanded.

Early version of Darkest Dungeon 2 was met with a warm reception. In Epic Games Store, the average rating of players is 4.7/5 stars. The game is praised for its atmosphere, addictive gameplay and high difficulty level.

  • Most players also like the fact that it is not a simple sequel, developing only the content of the original. Instead, the devs offered a strongly different game.
  • While the first part was a fairly classic RPG, the sequel relies on a roguelike structure.
  • It takes less time to complete the campaign, but the whole thing has been developed in such a way that it can be completed repeatedly, each time offering fresh challenges.
  • In addition, party members have become characters with unique personalities. There is no longer a situation where we take two identical characters on an adventure.
  • On top of that, we travel between dungeons using stage coaches, and these trips have their own challenges and dangers.

Game development plans

First Darkest Dungeon was developed over many years and the developers intend to repeat this with the sequel. They informed that we can expect:

  1. free updates with new monsters and hero skins, as well as balance and gameplay improvements,
  2. after the release of version 1.0, the devs also intend to prepare modding tools,
  3. the developers say nothing about paid DLCs for now, but the first part of the series received a number of warmly received expansion, and we expect the same to happen with Darkest Dungeon II.

Finally, it is worth quoting the system requirements of the PC version.
