After a short stay in Early Access, Red Hook Studios has announced that Darkest Dungeon II will fully release on May 8 on the Epic Games Store. You can now also wishlist the game on Steam, as well as download a demo on either platform for the duration of Steam Next Fest (February 6-13).
In addition, seeing as Steam Next Fest is underway, Red Hook has a few goodies in store. Later today at 11am PT, the team will have a Q&A livestream with Creative Director Chris Bourassa and Design Director Tyler Sigman, taking questions on all things Darkest Dungeon II. And tomorrow at 1pm PT, the team will have a gameplay livestream, where you can meet members of the Red Hook team.
Darkest Dungeon II is a roguelike road trip across a decaying landscape on a last ditch effort to avert the apocalypse.
Sporting a revamped 3D engine and combat system, the game is designed to allow for players to ease into the game before the real hell begins later on. The new Affinity System has your heroes bonding with each other (or the opposite) as your quest progresses, leading to potentially beneficial combat synergies, or soul-crushing dysfunction. That’s on top of the psychological stresses and horrors that will be inflicted upon them throughout the game.
