Darkest Dungeon will get Lovecraftier with DLC in June

Going anyplace good this summer time? How a couple of keep in a farmhouse upon a blasted heath with 4 of your closest adventurepals, keeping off waves of millhands twisted by a horrible comet? That’s the form of Lovecraftian summer time vacation coming to Darkest Dungeon within the grimdark tactical RPG’s second enlargement, The Colour Of Madness, which builders Red Hook Studios have announced will launch on June 19th. It’ll go to a brand new area named The Farmstead and struggle a brand new infinite wave survival quest within the struggle to cease the affect of the crashed comet, the millers warped by it, and the Thing the comet introduced.

Red Hook set it up thusly:

“Some hateful shard of alien origin has streaked through the night sky, crashing into the old Miller’s farm on the outskirts of the Hamlet! Those unfortunate enough to witness the Comet’s arrival have been blinded by what they can only describe as a shifting, ephemeral hue of damnably abrasive intensity. There has been no word from the farm in a fortnight, save for the unearthly groaning that echoes from the ruin of the mill…”

Good, nice, pretty, I’ll get proper on that.

So, The Farmstead! It’s occupied by The Miller and his staff, a brand new faction of enemies who aren’t fairly feeling themselves. The Miller is one boss, then the later two are… considerably extra cosmic.

As for issues that assist us, the enlargement will add a Jeweler buying and selling our Comet Shards for brand spanking new trinkets, new curios, and 4 new buildings for the Hamlet. Though after all we’ll face new quirks, for the enjoyable new methods to lose our minds.

It additionally consists of an ‘Endless Quest’, which Red Hook describe thusly: “Survive as long as you can while getting lost in time and space, confronted by unending waves of enemies new and old, pushing ever closer to the crash site of the Comet.”

Good occasions.
