After entering early access all the way back in 2021, Darkest dungeon 2 finally has an official release date for 1.0. Instead of releasing a full sequel to 2016 Darkest dungeon at the same time, developer Red Hook Studios has been slowly building what would become over the past few years DD2. And while some fans have postponed checking out Darkest dungeon 2 in the early access form it is now known that they will not have to wait much longer to play the full version of the game.

Revealed today in a new blog post on the official Darkest Dungeon website, Red Hook Studios confirmed that the sequel will reach its 1.0 stage on May 8. At this time, the game remains for sale on both Steam and the Epic Games Store. Formerly the original Darkest dungeon eventually came to consoles, so it seems likely that this sequel could appear on new platforms in the future. For now, however, no such plans have been announced by Red Hook Studios.

It is official! Darkest Dungeon II will be released on May 8, 2023 in 1.0 on Steam and EGS.
