Even though the principal information about the game hasn’t been revealed yet, the studio spoke exclusively that, Darkest Dungeon 2 will first release the sequel on Steam Early Access, then consider publishing a complete release base on early players’ feedbacks.  The combat system represented on the first version is going to return too but will have a ‘tune-up’, so that this time, it will totally different in metagame structure.

The platform of Darkest Dungeon 2 was not officially mentioned, so we could consider PC as a safe bet. Still, fans of the game agreed that the mobile version would be the most suitable platform, as they have experienced it for a time. But then, in 2017, Darkest Dungeon iPad version arrived with concessions. The aspect proportion didn’t match iPad’s full screen as the result of assets that Red Hook Studio originally created. iPad players then had to cope with black edges on the screen. The same situation happened with the iPhone version; the UI features were not created to fit such undersized screens. Also, redoing them completely for the iPhone would cost too much. Hopefully these bugs will be addressed with the sequel. In near future, we are looking forward to having Darkest Dungeon 2 on mobile.
