Darkest Dungeon 2 is Heading to PS5 and PS4 in July 2024
/Red Hook Studios announced they are bringing their punishing roguelike turned-based RPG Darkest Dungeon 2 to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on July 15, 2024. The base game as well as the DLC ‘The Binding Blade’ and the Oblivion bundle - containing the base game and DLC - will be available as cross-buy across PlayStation 4 and 5.
"We have been very eager to bring Darkest Dungeon II to PlayStation players," said Tyler Sigman, Design Director for Red Hook Studios. "The game feels great with DualSense Controller–we’ve been able to add touches like feeling the heartbeat of a hero on death’s door, or the rumble of the stagecoach’s wheels as it hits a trap. Darkest Dungeon I was fortunate to find a strong community on PlayStation and we hope the same proves true with the sequel."
Darkest Dungeon 2 is a punishing turned-based RPG where a single mistake can ruin a perfectly smooth run. I still remember the pain and suffering I had to endure in reaching every major boss in the game and enjoyed every triumph as it’s a game not for the faint of heart. Despite this, it’s a fantastic game that went through significant changes for the sequel, but they definitely retained most of the key points as to why many love Darkest Dungeon.
Stellar Blade’s potential was clear, but as its ambitions expanded into something greater, it lost focus. As soon as Stellar Blade tries to bring everything together, it merges into a single figure that looks deformed and uneven. The quality is unquestionable but it wasn’t the final product I was slowly building in my head as I went through the game’s first half.
