Red Hook Studios, the minds behind Darkest Dungeon, are thrilled to introduce Secrets of the Coven – the second instalment among three adventure modules for the Kingdoms game mode in Darkest Dungeon II. Today, it’s available on Nintendo Switch and Xbox! Players embark on a journey to expose and eliminate the enigmatic Coven before their covert actions lead to the catastrophic collapse of their kingdom.

The Coven’s Mysteries is an upcoming, no-cost expansion that introduces a fresh Kingdoms quest, a new adversarial faction, innovative gameplay mechanics, and items, plus several popular Kingdoms features requested by the community, such as storage for inns, selling of items, and additional features! This update was previously launched on Steam for both PC and Mac in April, and on PlayStation consoles this month.

Chris Bourassa, Creative Director, highlights that ‘The Secrets of the Coven’ deviates significantly from the early Kingdoms experience, ‘Hunger of the Beast Clan.’ The gameplay speed, mechanics, and quest progression have a unique, standout vibe. Plus, the enemy faction is unlike any other we’ve encountered so far. Our team has ventured into uncharted realms with this game, and we can’t wait to hear what our players think!

Kingdoms represents a free game setting that offers a revamped framework along with three story-driven segments, initially featuring The Hunger of the Beast Clan and now progressing to The Secrets of the Coven. Unlike the original Confessions mode, in Kingdoms, players are challenged to safeguard the realm and an extensive system of taverns against formidable new adversaries such as the savage beastmen and treacherous coven. An additional adventure module is slated for launch in 2025.

Recently, Red Hook Studios marked the two-year milestone since Darkest Dungeon II’s 1.0 debut. Over the past year, they’ve made some exciting strides in the game’s expansion, such as making it available on Mac and consoles, incorporating mod support, unveiling a new mode called Kingdoms, and launching the Inhuman Bondage DLC. There are more updates to look forward to, including the much-anticipated third Kingdoms module, improved modding options, unique hero origin skins, extensive hero overhauls, and lots of additional content.

As a dedicated fan of Darkest Dungeon, I’m thrilled to share that we’re moving forward with the next update – officially known as the Steadfast Steward’s Update! This time, it’s not just us at Red Hook Studios shaping the game; we’re inviting the entire Darkest Dungeon community to join forces with us.

In this collaboration, players will have the opportunity to test new builds every week and share their valuable feedback directly with our team in the Darkest Dungeon Discord channel. We’ve got some exciting areas on our agenda, including Hero reworks, enhancing tooltips, revamping existing features like the Academics View, and improving the Token Glossary, among other miscellaneous tweaks.

For more details about the Steadfast Steward’s Update, head over to the Darkest Dungeon website! Let’s work together to make our favorite game even better!
