GOG.com Adds ‘Wolfenstein: The New Order’, ‘The Old Blood’ and Entire ‘Dishonored’ Series to Library
GOG.com has kicked off their Bethesda sale with the addition of two recent Wolfenstein titles, as well as the entire Dishonored series of games. Both series are available at a discount for the week, alongside other Bethesda properties including Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, Quake and DOOM.
Bethesda’s 2014 return to the grandaddy of first-person shooters in Wolfenstein: The New Order gave BJ and company a much-needed shot in the arm after 2009’s overlooked Wolfenstein. The mini follow-up a year later in The Old Blood gave us more carnage and gunplay that helped to put the series back on the map.
Meanwhile, Arkane Studios’ 2012 stealth-action game Dishonored brought back memories of stealth classic Thief in its gameplay, as well as its freedom to allow you to tackle missions in a variety of ways. The follow-up in 2016 improved on some of the first game’s shortcomings, while 2017’s standalone expansion, Death of the Outsider, wrapped up the second game’s narrative (though not entirely satisfying some fans).
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.
