Darkest Dungeons 2 is receiving a new game mode as a free update sometime this year, developer Red Hook Studios has announced. Dubbed Kingdoms, the developer says it’s a standalone campaign, and describes it as a “race against the clock to find and defeat a monstrous threat before it overwhelms and destroys the Kingdom.”
Players will journey across the grueling land, gathering resources, fighting back against incursious, and defending safe haven inns, with three new enemy factions set to be introduced- The Coven, Beastmen, and Crimson Courtiers. Using the resources you gather, you will be upgrading both your heroes and your inns, while you can also expect to jump into new, “extensive” upgrade trees.
Red Hook Studios says playing the base game’s campaign isn’t necessary to play the Kingdoms campaign. Check out its announcement trailer below for a glimpse of what it’ll have in store.
Darkest Dungeon 2 is currently available only on PC, though if a recent age rating in Brazil is anything to go by, it might soon be headed to PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch as well.
