Darkest Dungeon® II News

We have just pushed a new build to the Darkest Dungeon II retail branch:

Inhuman Bondage DLC Updates:
Crypt Keeper

• Reduced appearance rate
  
• Disabled from appearing in Hazard & Rough Patch mashes
  
• Passkey: Removed Immobilize on CRIT

Bagman

• Seepage: Now has cooldown 1
  

We are going to be pushing builds to our coming_in_hot branch again starting today as we roll into some features/changes that were done during our release candidate lock out. As always we like to let these builds soak on these public beta branches as we continue to work on the localization and other stability issues.

We encourage players who want to help test these changes and provide feedback to switch to either the "coming_in_hot" beta branch on Steam. Your save will carry over when you switch to that branch.

Note: We always recommend making a backup of your save file before switching branches!
