Darkest Dungeon 2 - developer Red Hook Studios' deliciously bleak rogue-like RPG sequel - leaves early access on 8th May, arriving on Steam the same day.

Darkest Dungeon 2 launched into early access back in October 2021, but sidestepped a Steam release in favour of Epic Games Store exclusivity throughout its journey toward version 1.0. As Red Hook previously explained though, that exclusivity ends with Darkest Dungeon 2's full release, meaning it'll soon be creeping onto Valve's platform.

And if you haven't been following Darkest Dungeon 2's last year and a half of development, you may be wondering what changes this sequel brings. Chief of these is a new structure described by Red Hook as a"grim turn-based roadtrip" across five regions.

Strategic wrinkles include the plentiful boons, buffs, and upgrades available via the new Altar of Hope system, and each of Darkest Dungeon 2's dozen heroes can be augmented with skills and items. Additionally, the original game's Affinity system returns, forcing players to manage their party's relationships and psychological wellbeing, lest the current run is ruined by dysfunction.
