Greetings! Along with the Crimson Court DLC launch, we have made a variety of improvements and updates to the core game, which will be available to all users.

Ok, straight up we know you want detailed patch notes. We love making them. But with everything going on around the DLC launch, we couldn’t bring ourselves to go back through every commit log from the past 5 months for the base game. We might’ve forgotten some stuff. Call us lazy, call us exhausted. We’re sorry, and we love you.

• Character class balancing and adjustments! Highlights include Crusader’s Bulwark of Faith, Highwayman’s Tracking Shot and Open Vein, Bounty Hunter’s Hook and Slice (Now, Caltrops!), Leper’s Intimidate, and maybe the biggest of all: Occultist’s Wyrd Reconstruction (now usable in any rank!).
  
• Comprehensive trinket re-balancing: you’ll notice not only stat changes, but rarity/tiering changes as well for some trinkets. Thanks to Maester Silvio for his contributions!
  
• Added Horror (Stress DOT) to a few monsters sprinkled around the dungeons...
  
• Added Laudanum -a powerful tonic to combat Horror, available at a Provisioner near you.
  
• Revised improper quest rewards for Cove boss quests to give higher rewards.
  
• Inexplicably, you can now enter the dungeon with less than a full party. We advise against it!
  
• New Affliction act-outs! Experience the mayhem and tomfoolery of characters attacking each other and sometimes rarely even forcing a retreat! (Don’t hate us too much.)
  
• High torchlight levels now properly grant dodge bonus to heroes.
  
• Combat skill tooltip optimization
  
• Bug fixes and stability improvements.

Soundtrack: We have updated the Soundtrack to include all new tracks from the Crimson Court at no charge. Thanks to our composer, Stuart Chatwood, for this! If you haven’t purchased the Soundtrack, get on that!

Modding / Steam Workshop: Due to extensive rework involved in creating the DLC, some file structures have changed which will break some mods until the creators have a chance to revise. Sincere apologies! We were unable to get all of the information out ahead of time, but stand by to assist mod creators in understanding the changes.

HERE’S TO YOU
Your support of Darkest Dungeon has been integral to our continued success, and we at Red Hook wanted to thank you from the bottom of our black hearts. We hope you’ll consider picking up the Crimson Court DLC, and experience all the new horrors we’ve cooked up, along with the Flagellant playable hero, and the new Districts Hamlet upgrade system. We’re passionate about our game, and are excited to continue to support and expand it even further!

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.
