Red Hook Studios likely has high hopes for Darkest Dungeon 2. Players with a subscription to that service can explore the entire first adventure and decide whether they're up for the challenge the sequel brings to the table. It's probably no coincidence Darkest Dungeon is available on Xbox Game Pass once again, as well. The demo will be available through the end of Steam Next Fest. The company also announced a free demo to allow players to explore an entire region, which is one of five available in the full game. The 1.0 edition of Darkest Dungeon 2 will reach the Epic Games Store and Steam on May 8, Red Hook Studios revealed. Darkest Dungeon ranks among the hardest turn-based RPGs on record, thanks to its emphasis on flawed party members and even the psychological toll their heroics take on them. It explores the less pleasant side of adventuring that brighter fare tends to sweep under the rug. Released in 2015, the first Darkest Dungeon established a roguelike turn-based RPG franchise that quickly became known for its depth and difficulty. The second Darkest Dungeon game has remained in Early Access since debuting October 2021, and its time to shine has nearly arrived.

The Darkest Dungeon world is finally set to officially expand, following the announcement of a release date for version 1.0 of Darkest Dungeon 2. Darkest Dungeon 2 is about to leave Early Access, with Red Hook Studios finally announcing a release date for the long awaited event.
