Translated with AI from the Russian original.

Information regarding the approximate Early Access release date of the hardcore roguelike game has surfaced online. However, there is a catch.

A teaser for the sequel to the hardcore roguelike game Darkest Dungeon 2 appeared back in 2019. 

A scanned copy of several pages from PC Gamer magazine was posted on the Reddit forum by a user under the nickname Mr_Pepper44. The publication's recent piece reveals some details about the project and its Early Access release date.

As part of Early Access in Darkest Dungeon 2, players will be able to try out 9 classes (the 9th has not yet been announced) and complete the first of five planned chapters. The estimated playthrough time is 5 hours.

Heroes now always hit their targets, unlike in the predecessor game. However, to balance the gameplay, the developers implemented various debuffs that reduce the damage dealt on hits. 

The game has become more beginner-friendly, but for those who love challenges, fine-tuning is available that will allow making the game “impossible.”

The game's visual style has changed. The heroes' heads now look more realistic compared to the first installment.

Darkest Dungeon 2 will be released in Early Access on PC in Q3 2021. In the Epic Games Store.
