Red Hook has released a grisly update for Darkest Dungeon 2, expanding its Kingdoms mode with a chilling new campaign. This update introduces vampiric bug-people who crave blood while parading around in Regency-era attire, adding a sinister twist to the roguelike’s strategy.
Darkest Dungeon 2 expands with Curse of the Court
The headline addition is the Curse of the Court campaign. Your Kingdom becomes overrun by insectoid aristocrats who drain citizens and spread a debilitating curse. Players must hunt for a cure and drive them out before they bleed the realm dry, powdered wigs included.
Bethesda confirms Starfield will get revamped space gameplay with a new “Cruise Mode,” free updates, and another DLC story in development.
New maps and features arrive in Darkest Dungeon 2
Alongside the campaign, Darkest Dungeon 2 now includes three new maps that change the layout of your adventures. Moreover, the patch brings fresh music, new achievements, and balance tweaks to conditions like Punish and Acid Rain, ensuring smoother progression across Kingdoms mode.
Technical bugs squashed alongside monstrous ones
Although it adds bug-monsters, the update also fixes plenty of technical issues. For instance, it now runs more smoothly with ultrawide resolutions, improved gamepad controls, and a corrected in-game token glossary. These refinements make the game’s darkest corners easier to navigate.
Free weekend and the biggest discount yet
Finally, players can try Darkest Dungeon 2 for free this weekend, an opportunity perfectly timed with its steepest discount to date. This deal runs for the next two weeks, giving both newcomers and veterans a reason to dive back into its brutal battles.
With the Curse of the Court, new maps, technical fixes, and a free trial, it is more inviting than ever, even if its horrors are not.
