Darkest Dungeon 2 will see a “refined combat system” and is sure to “test your mettle and drive you to the brink of madness.” The original game was like a Dark Souls, roguelike mashup, known for its punishing difficulty and an emphasis on cyclical perma-death, so one can expect more of the same from the sequel.

With a refined combat system and a whole new metagame, Darkest Dungeon II is packed with fresh monsters, bosses, and challenges.”ĭarkest Dungeon 2 is described as a roguelike, strategy, RPG game similar to that of the original Darkest Dungeon, released back in 2016. “In fact, this teaser was captured straight out of Unity, and uses the in-game character models and rendering techniques from the game itself. “Our familiar companions band together for another journey into oblivion – this time in stylized 3D,” the studio says. Just don’t expect too many details on actual gameplay, lore, direction, or a hard date. In the trailer, you’ll spot a few returning characters and much sharper visuals to the original game’s heavily inked art style. “Lash your gear to the stagecoach, fix your eyes on the horizon, and prepare to roll into Early Access on the Epic Games Store in 2021!” “It’s time to face the failures of the past,” Red Hook Studios claims in the YouTube description.
