Still retaining some of its former 2D art styles, this sequel adds a 3D flair. With only sensory sounds like wooden wheels rattling between the cracks of battered roads, cries of the undead, and the sything of blades against the flesh, you’ll take any sort of commentary you can get to hold onto some sense of humanity. June’s notable gravelly voice remains the player’s singular sense of human warmth in the desolate hellscape. Each campaign presents a story narrated by returning voice actor Wayne June, now The Academic. Your carriage wheels through 4 major regions present in each of the 5 campaign runs referred to as Confessions. In Darkest Dungeon 2, this is how your chosen party of four moves about in the world. It burns brilliantly, bolstering courage and strength for our heroes. A glimmer of optimism for whatever horrors await. A bright light, however, fastens itself high at the rear signifying hope. Shrouded in consuming darkness, your stagecoach travels across broken lands. At every turn, oblivion, and chaos seep deeper into humanity. This renowned challenging roguelike, turn-based tactical RPG set in a dark fantasy world tests players, once again, to brave the unknown and press forward.

Developed by Red Hook Studios, Darkest Dungeon 2 is the much-anticipated sequel to Darkest Dungeon.
