Darkest Dungeon II to add ‘Kingdoms’ mode in 2024

A race against the clock to find and defeat a monstrous threat.

Red Hook Studios has announced Darkest Dungeon II game mode “Kingdoms,” which will be added to the game via a free update in 2024.

Here is an overview of the game mode, via Red Hook Studios:

This new game mode challenges players in a desperate race against the clock to find and defeat a monstrous threat before it overwhelms and destroys the Kingdom. Journey across the land to gather resources and battle evil incursions, all while defending a network of safe haven Inns.
Acquired resources are used to upgrade heroes and also the Inns themselves, which can be improved via extensive upgrade trees. Players will embark on unique quest lines and fight back against three new monster factions: The Coven, Beastmen and Crimson Courtiers. Kingdoms can be played independently of the game’s original “Confessions” campaign.

Darkest Dungeon II is available now for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
