‘Darkest Dungeon II’ Comes to the Nintendo Switch on July 15 [Trailer]
With Darkest Dungeon II already out on PC, and coming to PlayStation consoles next month, Switch users are probably wondering when their turn will be. It turns out that they too will have Red Hook Studios’ dark fantasy turn-based tactics RPG on the same date as PlayStation fans.
As part of the recent Nintendo Direct stream, Darkest Dungeon II will release on Nintendo Switch on July 15th, 2024, with all current updates and DLC. Players can now pre-order the game in the Nintendo eShop for $39.99, with a 15% launch discount.
“We’re thrilled to bring Darkest Dungeon II to the Nintendo Switch, offering players the chance to experience the intense strategic depth and atmospheric horror of our game wherever they go,” says Tyler Sigman, Design Director for Red Hook Studios. “The Switch’s unique capabilities perfectly complement the immersive journey through the darkest reaches of our world.”
In addition to the main game, the DLC ‘The Binding Blade’ will also be available on Nintendo Switch. Players have the option to purchase the Oblivion bundle – containing the base game and DLC – on the Nintendo eShop. Key features of its update include the addition of two playable heroes, The Duelist and The Crusader, as well as the roaming mini-boss The Warlord. A major new campaign game mode, ‘Kingdoms’, will arrive as a free content update later this year. This mode challenges players in a desperate race against the clock to find and defeat a monstrous threat before it overwhelms and destroys the Kingdom.
Darkest Dungeon II is available now on the Epic Games Store and Steam. Check out Aaron’s review of Darkest Dungeon II, which only improves upon what Red Hook Studios established in the first game.
Publisher tinyBuild and developer Scythe Dev Team, the masterminds behind Happy’s Humble Burger Farm, are teaming up once again for horror gamers. Their latest work is the film-inspired horror VR venture “set in the interconnected Scythe universe” in Deep Cuts.
Deep Cuts centres around filmmaker Elise Weber and best friend/creative partner Malcolm Micheaux, who are enjoying an illustrious career until their villainous cartoon creations went mad. As Elise, players will explore the Lights Camera Faction studio premises in hopes of saving Malcolm, exploring a series of blockbuster worlds based on the duo’s extensive film catalog. Luckily, for Elise, she will have Bowie, the only sane cartoon character left, along for the ride.
Each blockbuster world, from the 80s horror-inspired “Forsaken Festival” to the 70s space thriller “Origin Drill”, contains numerous interactable objects for players to use. Grab a boom mic for an improvised weapon, or fire off a prop machine gun. Solve intricate puzzles with the help of time manipulation abilities, and embrace the power of an ultimate Film Director.
“With Deep Cuts, we’ve harnessed every inch of the Meta Quest hardware to create an unmatched experience, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the physical VR medium,” said Kaleb Alfadda, Principal Technical Engineer, Director & Founder, Scythe Dev Team. “Our team meticulously optimized every aspect to ensure fluid performance and rich, detailed environments that truly bring the game to life. We’re excited to offer players an experience that fully exploits the potential of the hardware, setting a new bar for standalone VR.”
Deep Cuts will arrive on the Meta Quest later in 2024, with releases on SteamVR and PSVR2 in 2025.
