Darkest Dungeon II officially in development
- Thread starter DGenerator
- Start date
I was actually really hoping their next thing would be something else. I think Darkest is fine to be sustained alone by modding and its own sheer size for years and years to come as it has been. I'd love to see their style in another world with different influences. I'm happy to hear they don't intend it to be a complete retread though.
OH MY GOD, I can't believe they went with the sequel! I thought there was no more they could add to DD gameplay, but it looks like Red Hook's confident with giving us more Darkest Dungeon!
I'm beyond excited for this, DD has genius art and game design, turning the RPG genre on its head. Here's hoping for Red Hook to struck lightning again!

Darkest was a lot of fun but found the grind of perma-death and keeping characters alive/healthy between missions while also leveling new characters to be draining and I eventually stopped playing. It became a "I don't want to do hard missions because I don't want to lose all my hard-work" mentality so I just altogether stopped after beating all the bosses once.
Well, it depends. I read a comic base this story and It would be REALLY weird if Darkest Dungeon II take these "extra steps" on its story....
But yeah, I hope to fix the difficulty of this game. The Crocodile in the DLC was bullshit.
SO ready for this. Can't wait to be shown just how not ready I am.
...what?
Let's hope this time they fix the end game. I know being challenging was part of their charm but I'm got tedious when hero died, not challenging.
This is pretty much the best announcement I could've seen today. I'm the biggest DD fan there is. Don't even want to check how many hundreds of hours I have in, it'll be over 500 easily. I mastered the game to the point of enlightenment.
Seeing that the metagame will no longer be base management is definitely intriguing and welcome, that will do a lot to keep people from burning out.
Hopefully Red Hook is playing it close to the vest and they have a bunch of new classes for us. Just don't take away my Hellion dammit.

Oh, shiiiiiiiiiiit! :D
Looks like we're moving from The Rats in the Walls to At the Mountains of Madness, I couldn't be more excited.
Agreed, she's my favorite as well. But if this art is any indication, we may not have to worry?

I should remind myself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer ...

Hopefully they work on the ui./menu for consoles.
What an absolute clusterfuck that was on ps4.
I can't overstate what a disaster it was. Really made me appreciate good menu systems.

Just out of curiosity, what are some good mods for Darkest Dungeon?
Back on topic, very happy that one of my favorite indie games is getting a sequel!
Your ideas fascinate me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
uhhh thats a bit much. Once you get used to it its second nature
I dont even think about it anymore. Took me an hour or so to be 100% comfortable with the UI
What? That's literally how the game worked for some time (when in early access and right after that). Getting resources without spending any was the best way to gear up for the serious attempts, even though it was tedious. Doing a normal run resulted in way too many insta deaths thanks to crits and other rng.
Get a solid balance mod if you don't want the vanilla "this game is going to fuck you up with rng 7/10 times" experience. Steam workshop, moddb, etc.
