‘Darkest Dungeon II’ Arrives July 15 on PlayStation Consoles [Trailer]
A year after its initial release on PC, Red Hook Studios will finally be bringing Darkest Dungeon II to the PlayStation. The base game, as well as the “The Binding Blade” DLC and the Oblivion bundle which contains the base game and DLC – will be available as cross-buy across PlayStation 4 and 5 on July 15th. Pre-orders are now available.
“We have been very eager to bring Darkest Dungeon II to PlayStation players,” said Tyler Sigman, Design Director for Red Hook Studios. “The game feels great with DualSense Controller–we’ve been able to add touches like feeling the heartbeat of a hero on death’s door, or the rumble of the stagecoach’s wheels as it hits a trap. [The original] Darkest Dungeon was fortunate to find a strong community on PlayStation and we hope the same proves true with the sequel.”
As mentioned, in addition to the base game (which we reviewed here), “The Blinding Blade” DLC will also be available on PlayStation. The expansion sees players face off against The Warlord, a new roaming mini-boss to encounter on your journey to the Mountain in Darkest Dungeon II. The DLC also adds two new playable heroes in The Duelist and The Crusader, complete with a special unlock quest for the Crusader, unique trinkets, signature items and fully voiced backstories, including playable flashback encounters.
Darkest Dungeon II is available now on the Epic Games Store and Steam.
It’s not much, but a leaked image from the fourth BioShock game has made its way online, courtesy of gaming website MP1ST. The screenshot in question (which you can see below via Imgur) is actually from a 2K Visual Effects Artist’s 2021 demo reel, with the image showing the UI and weapon.
Given that the image is from 2021, things are expectedly going to be changed once production ramps up, which looks to be happening pretty soon. The image also carries the code name “Parkside”, which is what was reported back in 2021 as the code name for this BioShock entry.
Obviously, not much can be gleaned from the screenshot, especially with this obviously being an early build. However, judging from the icons in the lower left, it’s safe to say that you’ll once again have your abilities, be they Plasmids or Vigor. That, and a trusty shotgun (so far) that has the ability to bounce its shots.
Obviously, neither 2K or Cloud Chamber have commented on the image.
Based on the long-standing rumours, this new BioShock entry is possibly going to be open world, with the setting a 1960s Antarctic city called Borealis. Again, things may change.
One of the big changes is the fact that Ken Levine, who was the mastermind behind the original game, will not be part of this new entry. Instead, Levine is now part of Ghost Story Games, which is currently working on their new BioShock-like game, Judas.
