Red Hook Studios has announced that Darkest Dungeon II, its sinister turn-based RPG roadtrip, will arrive on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on July 15, 2024. Following a PC launch in 2023, PlayStation players will soon be able to embark on a perilous journey aboard a stagecoach.

Darkest Dungeon II challenges players to manage not only their heroes’ physical well-being, but also their mental strength, as they face the horrors of the road ahead. Players must carefully navigate a world on the brink of collapse, while battling their own inner demons, as every decision they make is fraught with consequences.

We were very eager to bring Darkest Dungeon II to PlayStation players,” said Tyler Sigman, Design Director at Red Hook Studios. “The game is very enjoyable to play with the DualSense controller. We were able to add special features such as the heartbeat of a hero on the verge of death, or the rumble of a stagecoach’s wheels when it falls into a trap. Darkest Dungeon I was fortunate to find a strong community on PlayStation, and we hope the same will be true of its sequel.

In addition to the main game, “The Binding Blade” DLC will also be available for PlayStation players. The main features of this content pack are the addition of two playable heroes, The Duelist and The Crusader, as well as the roaming mini-boss The Great General.

Darkest Dungeon II invites players to embark on a thrilling journey through five campaigns, called “Confessions”, each featuring a terrifying boss and omnipresent mechanics. The game features 12 playable heroes, with 2 additional heroes, the Duelist and the Crusader, available via The Binding Blade DLC. Other features include “The Altar of Hope” metagame progression center, 10 companions with different race-defining properties and optional thematic difficulty modifiers in the form of Radiant and Infernal Flame equipable items, for those who want less or more challenge.

Darkest Dungeon II will arrive on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on July 15, 2024. Darkest Dungeon II and the Oblivion pack will be available for pre-order from April 18, 2024.
