darkest dungeon 2 the howling end trailer

It’s not hard to notice that the setting of Darkest Dungeon is heavily influenced by Lovecraftian Horror. The focus of the trailer is a singular large snowy mountain, no doubt to be the setting of this new game.

We don’t yet know when Darkest Dungeon 2 will become available on Early Access, but hopefully we won’t have to wait too long to dive back into the franchise’s dark and mysterious setting.Red Hook Studios, The team behind 2016’s Dark Fantasy RPG Darkest Dungeon, has released an announcement trailer for a sequel. The change in setting will give the sequel a distinct identity, as Darkest Dungeon 2 is “a game about enduring a gruelling journey, not cleaning up your backyard”.

Moving away from the corrupted estate setting of the first game, the developers promise that Darkest Dungeon 2 will show players “a glimpse of the supernatural apocalypse twisting and distorting the world beyond the estate”, however they are remaining tight-lipped on details for now. The original Darkest Dungeon went through many developments as a result of fan feedback during its stint in Early Access, so it will be interesting to watch the sequel evolve as players engage with it. This is in order to “get into fans’ hands faster”, and to give those fans “the opportunity to help shape the finishing of the game”. In an interview with PC Gamer, Red Hook Studios stated that, similarly to the first game, Darkest Dungeon 2 will be debuting on Early Access. Perhaps most importantly, the iconic flowery narration, once again supplied by Wayne June, is also coming back for the sequel. However, many aspects are also returning from the original, such as the familiar classes shown in the teaser trailer. However, this is a fully fledged sequel that promises to create a “completely different” structure for its metagame. These added new classes, like the Flagellant and the Shieldbreaker, as well as new areas and gameplay tweaks. Since its release in 2016, the original Darkest Dungeon was supported by many updates and official expansions. Darkest Dungeon 2 widens the scope, taking the player out of the estate to the icy wastes of the Howling End. In Darkest Dungeon, the player controlled an inheritor to a decrepid estate, hiring mercenaries to explore dungeons, reclaim your heritage and uncover the crimes of your mysterious ancestor. Red Hook Studios have revealed a sequel to its Lovecraft-inspired dungeon crawler, Darkest Dungeon.
