Darkest Dungeon II Update: A Grim Roadtrip RPG's Biggest Update Yet

Red Hook Studios has announced that Darkest Dungeon II, their grim turn-based roadtrip RPG, will complete its Early Access run on the Epic Games Store and release in 1.0 on May 8th. To celebrate this major milestone, a free demo is being made available to the public starting today on Epic and Steam for the duration of Steam Next Fest.

The full version of Darkest Dungeon II promises to be a thrilling experience, featuring a dozen playable heroes, five full regions, five end bosses, and a metagame hub with extensive persistent upgrades. The game has been in Early Access since October 2021, with regular major content updates keeping players engaged.

In the demo, players will have the opportunity to explore two of the game's main areas: Sprawl (the city) or Foetor (the farms). They'll be able to take four starting heroes through one full region, facing off against distinct enemy factions and battling to survive. While no progression will be saved between expeditions in the demo, it will give players a taste of what's to come in the full game.

The full release on May 8th will mark the culmination of Red Hook Studios' hard work and dedication to crafting an immersive and challenging gaming experience. Darkest Dungeon II promises to be a must-play for fans of the series and newcomers alike, offering a unique blend of strategic combat and RPG elements.

For those eager to get their hands on the game before its full release, the free demo is available now until Steam Next Fest concludes. So, if you dare, take the leap and experience Darkest Dungeon II's darkest corners for yourself.
