Darkest Dungeon Gets Multiplayer

Back when I first got my PC and started my virtual photography journey one game that I got hooked on for a while was Darkest Dungeon. While not for everyone and void of anything photo modey, it is a grimly beautiful game. Stylised and harsh it lives up to its name. 

A boss fight!

Four years after its release it is finally getting a multiplayer mode, which pits players against the demented dungeon denizens together. Red Hook announced this news on the 1st of April, but myself like many mistook it for an April Fools shenanigan. Since it has been confirmed that it will  be in the form of a paid DLC called The Butcher's Curse, which will be with us next month. 

Within the update we will see a new hamlet called the Butchers Circus where players can test their combined might or go head to head in a PvP arena. The PvP mode will focus on heroes that are not your standard teams, meaning that you shall not lose your hard levelled characters to some PvP champion.

The game also has a great modding community on the PC, with numerous custom skins and classes. I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of rogue-like dungeon delving or classic turn-based RPG combat.

Red Hook also announced last year that a sequel is in the works. Fans can rejoice!
