Kingdoms is a passion project for us. If you look at our release history, no game or DLC has ever gone the same route, and we’re proud to continue that tradition here. This new mode will combine the permanence and management of the roster of the original Darkest Dungeon with the movement and combat of Darkest Dungeon II. Best of all, this is a massive FREE update to DDII, bringing our flagship title even more content and added value for our players. At Red Hook, we evaluate projects based on their potential to inspire surprise, delight, and despair… Kingdoms meets all three. We look forward to sharing more with our community.
