Red Hook Studios has announced a significant update for the original Darkest Dungeon, marking the first new downloadable content for the beloved turn-based dungeon crawler in six years. Enthusiasts who have explored the grim depths of the first game, last receiving DLC in 2020, will have the chance to experience fresh challenges starting next month.
This upcoming content is particularly noteworthy as it will incorporate new character classes directly from its sequel, Darkest Dungeon 2, which itself launched in 2023. By bringing over a few fan-favorite classes from the follow-up, the developers aim to refresh gameplay for veterans while also celebrating the original title’s 1.0 release. This report is based on information from Rock Paper Shotgun.
