In a new accolades trailer for the recent release Darkest Dungeon II, Red Hook Studios and Skybound Games have announced a physical edition of the game will be coming to consoles on 22nd October 2024.
The Switch release will come with a physical game card, a stagecoach papercraft with assembly instructions, and an original soundtrack including a Bandcamp redemption code. Pre-orders are available now at select retailers.
In our review of Darkest Dungeon II here on Nintendo Life, we gave the sequel eight stars out of ten. Here's what we had to say:
"Darkest Dungeon 2 may not be the sequel that ardent fans of the original wanted it to be, but its unique approach to that hard-edged, brutal roguelike gameplay is compelling all the same. A memorable art style, tons of replayability, and lots of mechanical depth make this one an easy recommendation to any roguelike fans, even if it can be a little grindy at times. If you’ve been looking for yet another tough roguelike to add to your collection, Darkest Dungeon 2 is certainly worth your time and your money."

I guess nothing's sacred after The Neverending Story got not one, but two sequels.
This is the most "I should love this game" game for me, if ya catch my drift.

Just when you thought the characters had dignity.
@LikelySatan I agree, I've been playing DD1 with all the DLC for a month now, doing a run or two every day. I love the brutality of permadeath, but at the same time, you'd just wish you could load a save where things weren't as bad. It's kind of a masochistic experience, and I kinda like it and I kinda don't, haha.
@Pillowpants I can't deal with how punishing it is, and the randomness of some of those severe punishments. It's too miserable.
Love to see it, happy for those interested in it!
I loved the first one but there's no denying that it can be brutal, unfair and frustrating. Not sure I can subject myself to more of the same.
