We’re celebrating the start of the Steam Summer Sale by discounting Darkest Dungeon II to 50% off and adding 2 highly anticipated additions to the game!

Today marks the launch of our FREE Hero Origin Pack. This pack is available for download now for PC and Mac on Steam, GOG and EGS (console release to come at a later date).

The Hero Origin Pack contains the long awaited hero origin skins - the version of the Darkest Dungeon II heroes that you see in the Shrine of Remembrance. Once you've downloaded the pack, you'll need to complete each hero's Shrines to unlock their origin skin in the Cosmetics tab. You’ll be able to use the Origin hero skin for each hero in Darkest Dungeon II, including DLC Characters (Note: In order to access DLC character skins, you will need to own the associated DLC).

Get this new pack for FREE today.

Today’s release also includes expanded modding capabilities for Darkest Dungeon II. Our effort to bring the origin skins to life had the side benefit of laying the groundwork necessary to expand our modding tools, and allow for character modding. Modders will now be able to create unique hero skins and weapon kits.

We have had a small group of mod creators test these new capabilities for the past several weeks, and help us add to the Darkest Dungeon II modding guide. We are extremely grateful for all their assistance in expanding mod support for Darkest Dungeon II.

They’ve been working on a number of different mods, which are now available in the Steam Workshop. We've collected a few examples to showcase some of the incredible work they have done so far.
