‘Darkest Dungeon’ Being Turned Into a Board Game This Fall
Following in the footsteps of many video games such as Resident Evil and Bloodborne, Red Hook Studios’ punishing RPG Darkest Dungeon is getting the board game treatment. Board game publisher Mythic Games announced that they are Kickstarting a new game based on Darkest Dungeon, with a target launch date of Fall 2020.
The brief announcement was made during The Dice Tower’s Board Game Spectacular Breakfast stream. “Darkest Dungeon is an indie video game that has been extremely popular,” said Mythic Games’ co-owner Léonidas Vesperini. “There are big fans out there, but just the game itself, the universe, and the atmosphere is just awesome, and we… we won’t tell you too much for now, but we can just say that this is our next [game].”
Obviously, that’s not a heck of a lot to go on, but in the meantime, if you haven’t already, you can pick up Darkest Dungeon with a cool 75% discount as part of the Steam Summer Sale. You can also grab the game on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch.
The game’s sequel, Darkest Dungeon II, is currently in development.

LKA Delves Deeper Into the Horror of ‘When Sirens Fall Silent’ in New Presentation [Video]
During the Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition, publisher Wired Productions and developer LKA released a three-minute developer presentation for psychological horror game When Sirens Fall Silent, offering players a deeper look into the mystery, characters, and unsettling world of the upcoming psychological thriller.
Following two creative story-based cinematic reveals (which you can watch here and here) that introduced the game’s atmosphere, themes, and central mystery, LKA Founder and Director Luca Dalcò guides viewers further into the world of the forgotten people, revealing more of what awaits players as they uncover the truth behind a series of kidnappings and murders.
From the creators of Martha is Dead, When Sirens Fall Silent casts players as Mila, a policewoman in early 1990s Rome, Italy. Haunted by a past she’s desperate to escape, Mila is thrust into a high-profile case of kidnappings and murders. As the investigation unravels, you must not only save her from herself, but also from being consumed by the violence, mystery and confusion.
Featuring a branching, multi-layered narrative dialogue system, with a huge focus on verbal and emotional interaction, investigation and subsequent choices, players will be faced with difficult real-world topics. LKA aims to “pull no punches” with its story, but also hints at a few surprises along the way.
When Sirens Fall Silent is currently in development for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store.
