After launching on Steam last May and landing an ESRB rating last month, Red Hook Studios' spooky roguelike Darkest Dungeon II is finally making its way onto Switch on 15th July.
This one will see you embarking on a journey through a decaying wasteland in the hope of preventing the apocalypse — no pressure there then, eh? You'll be building a party and working through five different 'Confessions', each with its own challenges and bosses.
To mix things up, the game offers 12 different playable heroes, 10 "run-defining" companion pets and difficulty modifiers for anyone who wants to increase (or decrease) the level of challenge.
According to the game's blurb, this edition has been optimised to run on Switch and it will even offer touch controls for those who like to play that way.
Darkest Dungeon II is now available to pre-order from the Switch eShop for £34 / $39.99 with a sweet 15% discount available for all those who make their purchase before release day. The game's 'Binding Blade' DLC (which adds new heroes, another questline and more) is also available to pre-order with the base game as a part of the 'Oblivion Edition'.
Will you be picking this one up next month? Let us know in the comments.

Not for me and even if it were I'd still have to play the first one before it, but happy to see it coming to Switch for those interested!
For some reason mistook this for Dark and Darker. I got really excited for a moment. Game still looks cool but not my thing.
I was hoping this'd finally get announced. First game is absolutely brilliant and really looking forward to playing this one too.
One of the best modern RPG. Now to save to get it
Aww yiss finally
I really liked the first game, despite being horrible at it. I was interested in a sequel but it's even more difficult than the first AND double the price.
So unfortunately unless this gets a good discount, I'm out.
physical version?
The first Darkest Dungeon was a brilliant game that absolutely hooked me - I made it deep into the ancestor’s manor, but never did beat it. Such a well-crafted game!
What little we saw of the sequel today caught my eye and I’ll look forward to more coverage on it later this year.
Physical version?
