Developers finally announced the Early Access release date for Darkest Dungeons 2, confirming that the anticipated sequel will arrive on the Epic Games Store in late October. Fans have been waiting for the sequel to Darkest Dungeon since the original launched on January 19, 2016. Over five years later, players will finally get to jump back into Red Hook Studios’ gothic-style roleplaying game, exploring dungeons with a roster of familiar heroes. Though not much has been revealed about the beloved franchise’s next installment, the game will keep its signature gothic-horror style and 2D design.

Fans were previously disgruntled by the game’s launch platform. Red Hook Studios confirmed in a trailer last year that Darkest Dungeon 2 would arrive exclusively on the Epic Games Store. While the reveal trailer showed a particularly dramatic scene – with familiar heroes fighting on a bloodied battlefield – fans were more interested in the Epic Games announcement. They were considerably disappointed that the Epic Games Store got exclusive rights to launch the long-awaited sequel. Indie developers have previously been harassed for making such a decision, though fans are holding out hope that it’s only a timed exclusive. As for the game’s official launch, that’s all anyone can talk about.

Red Hook Studios announced the early access release date for Darkest Dungeon 2 in a Twitter post. The developers confirmed that the game will be coming to the Epic Games store on October 26, 2021. The post links to the Darkest Dungeon 2 store page. On the page, the developers wrote that “DDII will test your mettle and drive you to the brink of madness. Armor yourself with purpose and provision for the journey ahead. It will be arduous.” The game only offers a wishlist option, notably neglecting any pre-purchase choices. The store page was also void of any price.

While fans continue to be disappointed by the Epic Games Store exclusive deal, it is a welcomed surprise to get an official release date for the Darkest Dungeon 2 early access. Fans have waited for nearly a year, waiting for any form of confirmation since the trailer randomly dropped last October. Not a lot is known about the long-awaited sequel, apart from the fact that the game will maintain its Lovecraft-inspired roguelike challenge. And if the reveal trailer can be trusted, then players will have access to familiar faces while they attempt to conquer dungeons and battle through hell.

While it wasn’t confirmed, it’s likely that Darkest Dungeon 2 will also keep its unique stress mechanics that represent the mental turmoil adventurers suffer when facing Lovecraft-inspired Eldritch horrors. The feature adds a particularly challenging element to the game and works to tell the story and build characters in a fun and interesting way. Hopefully, the sequel stays true to its original flavor, with horror at every turn and new phobias acquired by both characters and players.
