Skybound Games, in partnership with developer Red Hook Studios, revealed details of a Darkest Dungeon II physical edition for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X or Nintendo Switch, all of which will be available on the 22nd of October 2024. Pre-orders are now open at retailers. To celebrate the news, Red Hook Studios has just released a brand new Accolades Trailer featuring the physical editions.

“We first connected with Red Hook Studios last year to discuss bringing the physical console versions of Darkest Dungeon II to market,” said Ian Howe, Managing Partner at Skybound Games. “We shared a common vision of building upon the legacy of the first game, through an intricate, highly collectible edition that fans of the game would enjoy. We hope players love these boxes as much as we have loved designing them.”

This October, Darkest Dungeon II will be available in physical form for the first time ever, which will include the following:

• Nintendo Switch game cartridge, Playstation 5 or Xbox Series X disc
• Intricate build-your-own stagecoach model
• Redemption code for the haunting Darkest Dungeon II soundtrack

“We’re thrilled to announce the release of the physical edition of Darkest Dungeon II,” said Tyler Sigman, Co-Founder and Design Director for Red Hook Studios. “While digital downloads dominate the market, physical media remains a vital cornerstone for preserving gaming culture and offering fans a tangible way to connect with the gaming worlds they love. Skybound helped us breathe life into a physical edition that delivers the immersive and challenging experience of Darkest Dungeon II but also provides a collectible keepsake for enthusiasts who value the legacy of physical games.”

 About Darkest Dungeon II

Darkest Dungeon II is a rogue-lite turn-based road trip of the damned. Form a party, equip your stagecoach, and set off across the decaying landscape on a last-gasp quest to avert an apocalypse caused by your own failures. The greatest dangers you face, however, may come from within the group.

The sequel to the critically acclaimed Darkest Dungeon features all-new 3D visuals in the distinctive style, a new run-based road trip structure, an enhanced version of the innovative turn-based combat system, fourteen playable heroes, five regions, five end bosses, and a metagame hub (“The Altar of Hope”) with extensive, persistent upgrades. Darkest Dungeon II was first released into Early Access on the Epic Games Store in October 2021 and has seen a regular cadence of major content and feature updates since Red Hook improved the game with the aid of customer feedback. The first DLC, The Binding Blade, was released on the 11^th of December, 2023.
