Darkest Dungeon 2, Red Hook Studios’ highly anticipated roguelike dungeon crawler, is making its way to PS4 and PS5 consoles on July 15th. Known for its punishing difficulty and enthralling gameplay, the sequel to the award-winning 2016 title was initially exclusive to PC.
However, following the footsteps of its predecessor, it’s now set to expand its reach to other platforms.
Rumors of a console release began circulating in March when Darkest Dungeon 2 was rated in Brazil for various platforms, including Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Series consoles, PS4, and PS5. While the rating didn’t provide a release date, fans speculated that, based on the original game’s timeline, console versions would likely arrive sometime in 2024.
Red Hook Studios has officially confirmed that Darkest Dungeon 2 will indeed be arriving on PS4 and PS5 on July 15. The announcement trailer has been released, sparking anticipation among eager players.
Preorders are now open, and PlayStation Plus subscribers can enjoy a discount on their purchase—a sweet deal for those looking to dive into the dark and challenging world of Darkest Dungeon 2.
While there’s no official word yet on versions for Switch or Xbox, history suggests that they may follow suit, as the first game also made its debut on PlayStation before branching out to other platforms. Keep an eye out for updates as the release date approaches!
Now you can explore even further into the dark and challenging world of Darkest Dungeon 2 with the special Oblivion Edition bundle. This bundle not only includes the base game but also the Binding Blade DLC, which brings a whole new questline, a wandering boss, and two additional heroes to the mix.
Soon, players will be able to head on a new campaign game mode called Kingdoms. In this mode, you’ll face the daunting task of defeating a major threat before it overtakes the kingdom.
To succeed, you’ll need to gather resources to upgrade your heroes and establish a network of Inns to fend off waves of monsters. It’s a fresh and immersive way to experience the world of Darkest Dungeon 2, and we can’t wait to see what adventures await!
