“That we are capable only of being what we are remains our unforgivable sin.”
― Gene Wolfe

Gird yourselves for a bloody campaign against the mist-shrouded menaces that lurk behind the Courtyard gate.

Darkest Dungeon’s first expansion, The Crimson Court, is scheduled for release on PC/Mac/Linux (Steam, GoG, Humble, Twitch) on June 19th 2017, and will cost $9.99 USD. We do not have a hard date for PSN owners, but we are targeting the following month. Inevitable issues result from releasing to a wide audience, and we want to make sure our console build benefits from the hotfixes we’ll be pushing to Steam as issues are discovered. (It’s a longer process to release hotfixes on PSN.)

At Red Hook, we’re working around the clock on the exciting new content and features that will be coming to Hamlet next month. Drawing hands are sore, spreadsheets are bursting with data, and eyes are blurry, but our own excitement is pushing us ever forward! We’ve been pretty tight-lipped on details but we’ll be revealing more information in the coming weeks including screenshots, boss teases, and a comprehensive look at the new class.

In case you’ve missed some of the earlier announcements on what to expect, let’s recap:

• A new hero class. “Awash in blood and delusion, they bear the burden of a thousand lifetimes.”
  
• A new wandering boss: The Fanatic
  
• A new dungeon region: The Courtyard
  
• A full faction of new deadly foes
  
• 4 new, unique Courtyard Bosses with some of the most complex and devious mechanics yet.
  
• Massive, sprawling maps with locked doors, prisoner rooms, and progress saves
  
• Districts: New prestige buildings that offer permanent, estate-wide bonuses
  Lore-driven trinket sets for all heroes - with set bonuses!

For now enjoy this amazing promo art we commissioned from Leesha Hannigan! Be sure to follow her on twitter and let her know how awesome this poster is. We have more amazing commissioned posters that we will be releasing on the run up to Crimson Courts release! So stay tuned.

Most recently, the Crimson Court DLC page on Steam has gone live!

http://store.steampowered.com/app/580100/Darkest_Dungeon_The_Crimson_Court/

You can now add it your Steam wishlist and receive future notifications for when it goes on sale!

A few weeks back, we started the slow trickle of information about the upcoming DLC. The small blog post earlier last month that gave a high level look at the expansion’s scope, but if in case you missed it, here’s the link

We did an article for Game Informer and that coverage should be live later today for subscribers and will be printed in their magazine next week. In that article we give the first glimpses of some new enemies and The Courtyard dungeon region - so keep your eyes out for that.


That’s all for now! We will post another update with the release date and price for the Crimson Court. For now, happy hunting and keep your torch bright!

Today marks the release of Steam Workshop support for Darkest Dungeon! We’ve always wanted to support mods for Darkest Dungeon, and going back to the Kickstarter, we listed it as a stretch goal. Though at the time we didn’t reach that level of funding, due to our success through Early Access, we decided to fully incorporate STEAM Workshop after release. Today marks the beginning of that support, and we cannot be more excited to see what our players come up with!

To celebrate this event we are on sale this weekend on Steam! Have you been waiting for Workshop Support? Well now you can grab the game for cheap and check out what the modding community has already cooked up in the Workshop Library! There are already a handful of cool and interesting class mods, as well as small and large system overhauls for the game such as Pitch Black Dungeon by MaesterSilvio, which is not unlike what The Long War is for X-Com 2.

We will be hosting a Community Stream this Friday to showcase some of the mods listed on Workshop as well as answer questions from the community about the game and modding. Tune in to Twitch.tv tomorrow at 2pm PST!

Are you interested in making mods for Darkest Dungeon? Check out the Darkest Dungeon Workshop Group on STEAM and the modding guide here! Back while we were testing out the Workshop integration we created a group for modders to send us feedback as well as discuss and share their expertise. We plan on using this group as the home for future workshop feature requests as well as discussing things with our modding community.

Finally, while mods are exciting please understand that we must put a disclaimer up as well:

Red Hook Studios cannot be responsible for any damage to save games caused by subscribing to mods. We recommend backing up your saves first. Here are instructions how to do so. We also encourage mod creators to test your mods thoroughly before making them available to the public.

The Darkest Dungeon world is about to get a little bit bigger! We can’t wait to see more of your creations.

Delve deep,

Red Hook Studios
