The game expands on the critically acclaimed original with striking 3D visuals and a streamlined run-based road trip structure. Since its Early Access release on the Epic Games Store in October 2021, Darkest Dungeon II has seen regular major content and feature updates. Darkest Dungeon II features a dozen playable heroes, each with their own five-chapter backstory, five regions, five end bosses, and a metagame hub called “The Altar of Hope” with persistent upgrades.

Other changes include balance adjustments, quality-of-life improvements, and community-requested features like reconfiguring the Valley and redesigning loathing. Additionally, 10 pets have been added to the game, each with unique expedition-defining effects. This update revamps the map traversal systems of the game, introducing various hazards that can damage the stagecoach’s armor and wheels tokens, adding strategic depth and emphasizing the importance of scouting ahead and choosing routes carefully.

Red Hook Studios releases “Redemption Road” update for Darkest Dungeon II, the final Early Access update before its full release on May 8th on EPIC and Steam.
