Way back in 2019, developer Red Hook Studios announced a sequel to its brutal role-playing game Darkest Dungeon.
Now, following the release of Darkest Dungeon II on Steam last May, a rating for the game has popped up in Brazil and it lists multiple platforms including the Nintendo Switch (thanks, Gematsu):
Here's a bit about this sequel via its Steam description:
"Darkest Dungeon II is a roguelike road trip of the damned. Form a party, equip your stagecoach, and set off across the decaying landscape on a last gasp quest to avert the apocalypse. The greatest dangers you face, however, may come from within..."

When the original title arrived on the Switch eShop in 2018, we said it was a thoroughly absorbing dungeon crawler:

Hooray! Time to get overconfident again.
Cool. My PC doesn't run this properly, but on the console I can even think about buying the physical copy. Now to learn from the frustration of this damn carriage that gives Game Over all the time. 🤣
The first was too punishing for me, and the UI was rough on Switch.
First one is on sale on the US eshop currently, $9.99 for standard or $15.99 for ancestral edition (all dlcs)
I went ahead and nabbed this to try it out. Seems very much like an RPG crossed with Eternal Darkness in tone/theme…. I’m down for that.
YEEEEEES. Finally!!
I frickin' loved the first game. Has been waiting for this for ages.
The first one was very interesting to play but difficult. I got it in a deep sale and surprisingly put quite a few hours into it. 2nd one? With a mountainous backlog I'd have to think on that one. Maybe another deep sale purchase, who knows?
The first one was a rare unsuitable game for Switch due to it's dreadful interface and menus. Hope this sequel fixes that.
I’d look forward to this, I’ve not seen much about it but what I have it seems quite different from the first game
That's cool, I liked the first one. Cool atmosphere. I usually like games where I get progressively stronger though and not just more worn down and inflicted with things like more ailments, that's never been an appealing "challenge" to me. Maybe I'll pick it up again some day though.
@Joriss The first one was unsuitable for me because it filled me with dread. Hard as nails!
Seeing as I really don't have the time nor proper spot for PC gaming these days (or a laptop that would run DD2, probably), this might be cool to have on Switch. I've seen plenty of gameplay vids and the change in scenery makes it feel like a completely different game, while maintaining what makes the first one good.
So maybe I will get it.
Aww yiss. I played the heck out of the first one on my switch. It's up there with slay the spire in that it's an addictive as hell roguelike.
Wonder if this could show up at Xbox's event today...or maybe the rumored Indie World for this month
The first one is in my top ten most-played Switch games. Had lots of fun with it despite never finishing the blasted titular dungeon. I've been hoping for the second one to be released on Switch ever since I heard of its existence, so I hope this actually happens.
