![]() ![]() Now I am fortunate to do this all over again with its sequel Darkest Dungeon 2 as it has just been released into early access on the Epic Games store. The highs, the lows, the heart attacks, and corpses. I watched, and played, every step of the development process. This was my experience with Darkest Dungeonback when it first came to early access in 2015. We, as players, get to see a game blossom and grow into its final form, like a butterfly with a two-frame jab and a health bar. That makes early access feel more intimate. Imagine, though, if the audience could look at the dailies on a movie shoot, or listen to the bass line of a new EP. ![]() Playing a game that’s still incomplete and giving the developers feedback makes sense it’s almost the purest form of beta testing. When the sequel was first announced, Red Hook said the team working on the game consisted of 14 people but that growing to 20 people was anticipated.Early access is an oddly unique phenomenon that really only works in the world of video games. It seems players will get the chance to discover that very different metagame structure first hand in a little over a month. The developers said the sequel will employ a very different metagame structure, but opted not to reveal more about what that means. Red Hook also revealed that the first game's combat system will return, but that it would be "tuned-up" for the sequel. When the game was first announced in 2019 with "The Howling End" announcement teaser, Red Hook revealed that six returning classes from the first Darkest Dungeon would be returning to the sequel: Grave Robber, Leper, Man-at-Arms, Plague Doctor, Highwayman, and Hellion. ![]() Darkest Dungeon II (Early Access) is coming to on October 26th, 2021!
