Red Hook Studios announce that the new FREE game mode Kingdoms, along with its first of three adventure modules Hunger of the Beast Clan, as well as the next paid Darkest Dungeon II DLC, Inhuman Bondage, will be released simultaneously for PC on January 27th, 2025.
Kingdoms is an entirely new game mode coming to Darkest Dungeon II, released as a free update and consisting of three themed adventure modules, starting with Hunger of the Beast Clan.
Featuring a completely reimagined game structure, Kingdoms is a parallel game experience to the Confessions game mode. Players will be tasked with defending the realm from incursions by all-new enemy-factions. Up first they will be tasked with fending off the pitiless onslaught of the rotting and ravenous beastmen.
The Inhuman Bondage DLC introduces a new mini-region, The Catacombs, and a new playable hero to Darkest Dungeon II, the fan favorite and original Kickstarter backer-assisted designed character: The Abomination. The Catacombs invites players to plunge their stagecoach beneath the Kingdom to face a corrosive, oozing threat.
This is a high-risk, high-reward region featuring a faction of new enemies and new items, and will bring variety and challenge to both ‘Confessions’ and ‘Kingdoms’. The Abomination brings unique mechanics, trinkets, signature items, palettes, weapon kits and a fully voiced origin story including playable flashback encounters.
Darkest Dungeon II is available on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X|S. The Kingdoms mode and Inhuman Bondage DLC will be available on PC January 27th 2025, with console following.
