Red Hook Studios has officially announced that their critically acclaimed turn-based RPG, Darkest Dungeon II, will launch on Xbox Series X|S on July 15, 2024.

About Darkest Dungeon II
Darkest Dungeon II is a rogue-lite, turn-based road trip of the damned. Players form a party, equip their stagecoach, and set off across a decaying landscape in a desperate quest to avert an apocalypse caused by their failures. The greatest dangers, however, may come from within the group itself.

The sequel to the critically acclaimed Darkest Dungeon features new 3D visuals, a run-based road trip structure, an enhanced turn-based combat system, 14 playable heroes, five regions, five end bosses, and a metagame hub (“The Altar of Hope”) with extensive, persistent upgrades. The game first entered Early Access on the Epic Games Store in October 2021 and has received regular updates and improvements based on player feedback. The first DLC, The Binding Blade, was released on December 11, 2023.
