New Game Mode - Kingdoms - Now Playable!

“This squalid Kingdom, these corrupted lands, they are yours now, and you are bound to them.”

Kingdoms is an entirely new stand-alone strategic campaign game mode available to play now in Darkest Dungeon II.

Featuring a completely reimagined game structure, Kingdoms is a parallel game experience to the Confessions core game mode. You will be challenged to defend a crumbling realm against incursion from all new enemy factions.

Manage a persistent roster of heroes, gather resources, and pursue an epic questline in order to track down and defeat the source of evil before all is lost.

Progress in each game mode is tracked separately, and you can freely switch back and forth between active sessions of either.

Kingdoms is being released in thematic modules, each focusing on a different enemy threat. The first two modules - “Hunger of the Beast Clan” and “Secrets of the Coven”- are available now!

Gather your courage and ride out into the chaos of a world undone.
Four heroes and a stagecoach are all that stand between darkness and salvation.

Tried and True Turn-based Combat, Improved
The ground-breaking genre-defining combat from Darkest Dungeon returns, but everything from stats to rules has been refined and improved. The all new Token System helps make your decisions impactful while adding even more depth of play.

Unforgettable Heroes
Uncover and experience the tragic origin stories of each hero. Unlock their full potential via new skills, paths, items, and more.

Roguelike Runs, Each With Its Own Emerging Story
Each expedition lasts from 30 minutes to several hours. Even an untimely end will arm you with resources that can be spent to improve your next journey.

The Altar of Hope
Engage with a massive system of upgrades and boons that opens up new strategies for each expedition. Choose what’s important to you as you formulate your assaults on the Mountain.

The Affinity System
As travels progress, heroes bond with each other or grate on each others’ nerves, leading to desperately needed combat synergies or journey-ending dysfunction. Manage their stress and interaction to keep the team together until the bitter end.

Nightmarish Environs
From the burning Sprawl to the diseased Foetor, the long road to the Mountain will challenge your strategies and your endurance.

Explore five distinct regions, each with their own unique creatures and challenges.

A Moment’s Peace
Rest your weary, shell-shocked heroes at the Inn, where you can relieve their stress and try to improve their relationships with a variety of diversions and delights.

Face Your Failures
Journey to the Mountain and face down five terrifying manifestations of your weaknesses.

Signature Art Style, Evolved

Diverse Adventurers

Players can recruit adventurers with unique characteristics through various channels. These adventurers act completely autonomously, each with their own personality, specialties, talents, and more. You'll need to equip them, select skills, and choose their lineages.

We've leveraged ChatGPT to make NPCs more lifelike, allowing them to engage in free-flowing conversations within the game. They'll voice their opinions based on your actions and the development of the city, and occasionally engage in discussions with you.

The game offers hundreds of different adventurers, scattered across various floating islands and continents. You can recruit them for free!

Ecology of the Sky

This is a game filled with a fantasy style. Your mission is to dispel the chaotic energy throughout the world and rekindle the flame of civilization on the floating islands in the sky.

The sky is home to various mysterious leviathans that soar around the world, coexisting with humans. You can encounter them, gain their memory abilities, and inherit their technologies.

Integrated Cultures

By recruiting adventurers and technologies from various regions, you can acquire local cultural buildings and construct your city according to your preferences. The game offers over five different cultural architectural styles.

Different Technological Branches

In addition to a main core technology tree, the game also provides over eight different technological branches, including martial arts, spiritual cultivation, magic, witchcraft, science, quantum, and more. This ensures that every player's technological path is unique.

Every time you upgrade your technology, you'll accumulate inspiration points. Choosing different inspirations will activate progress in different directions, leading to mastery of the core technology in that field.

Challenging Powerful Enemies

You can send your adventurers to explore diverse worlds in search of rare treasures. You may also encounter other adventurers riding giant creatures and engage in fierce battles with them. In the 2.0 version, you'll even face world-class bosses. Defeating them will allow you to obtain their treasures and potentially even tame them as mounts!

Cities in the Sky

In the game, you'll have a city built on the back of a giant creature. This city is under your control, allowing you to freely develop and construct it. Send your adventurers to floating islands to defeat monsters or gather resources, and build buildings with various functions. At the same time, recruit villagers from all over the world to settle and work, creating a perfect city in the sky.
