Darkest Dungeon II: Inhuman Bondage Announced

Red Hook Studios announces Inhuman Bondage (presumably with apologies to W. Somerset Maugham), new DLC coming to Darkest Dungeon II, adding a new playable hero and a new "mini-region" to the RPG sequel. The DLC Teaser Trailer is a first glimpse. Word is this will arrive this year along with an update for the base game: "The paid DLC Inhuman Bondage will launch alongside The Hunger of the Beast Clan, the first of three thematic modules of the brand new game mode Kingdoms, coming to Darkest Dungeon II later in 2024 as a free update. Featuring a completely reimagined game structure, Kingdoms is a parallel game experience to the Confessions game mode. Players will be tasked with defending the realm from incursions by all-new enemy-factions. Up first they will be tasked with fending off the pitiless onslaught of the rotting and ravenous beastmen!" Here's more:
Unleash the beast within! The Abomination makes his return to the Darkest Dungeon series. This reclusive alchemist comes with a unique battle mechanic, allowing him to transform into a fearsome monstrosity - at the risk of spiraling stress! This new hero will come complete with unique trinkets, signature items, palettes, weapon kits and a fully voiced origin story including playable flashback encounters.

The Catacombs invite players to plunge their stagecoach into a long forgotten subterranean mini-region to face a corrosive, oozing threat. This is a high risk, high reward region featuring a faction of new slime sodden enemies and new items, that will bring variety and challenge to both the original Confessions mode and Kingdoms, an upcoming new game mode arriving later this year.
