Darkest Dungeon II 1.0 Launch Set For May

Darkest Dungeon II, which has been in development for a few years now, is available to download 1.0. Those who haven’t been keeping up can sample the finished version by downloading a free demo today.

Darkest Dungeon II will be available on PC starting May 8. The game first entered early access in 2021 and, like the original, tasks players with taking a dozen heroes through dangerous dungeons. This time though, you’re guiding them on a treacherous caravan ride through five dangerous regions.

The Affinity System allows heroes to bond or betray one another, creating combat dysfunctions and synergies. Darkest Dungeon II boasts many new upgrades and bonus boons that can be used to boost party members. The demo gives players access to the four starting heroes and two full regions to explore, but progress will not transfer to the full game. 

Darkest Dungeon II is available on Steam, and Epic Game Store. To learn more, check out our feature on the game’s new hero, the Runaway and a list of its most challenging enemies thus far.
