At long last we are ready to release our Steadfast Steward’s update! 

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped beta test our weekly changes, submitted feedback, and answered our surveys and polls over the past 8 weeks. This massive game update was made better through your involvement. We are fortunate to have such a passionate fan base, and we don’t take that for granted.

Now that the Steadfast Steward’s update is live, our team will be turning their attention to our final Kingdoms module. This 3rd free module features the return of the Crimson Courtiers, and is currently set for a late August release on PC/Mac. 

Once the K3 module is released, we will move on to our

• Added Ordainment Details to Ordainment token tooltip on combat bar

Adjusted base speed on the following enemies

• Widow speed increased from 2 to 3
• Sacrificial speed increased fr

Hey everyone!

​

We've been a thinking about trying to do some more community-focused activities on our Discord to help celebrate a lot of the amazing things our players are doing with Darkest Dungeon. While we have a few ideas, we wanted to do a small poll to see what you would like to see first!

​

If you have a moment please fill out this short Google Form and at the end of the week (Friday) we will close the poll and tally the results.

​

Thanks!

We made a short survey to put out in the community, and we would love you help in getting responses. This survey on the Themes, art, lore of Darkest Dungeon and trying to get a general idea of what aspects of Darkest Dungeon you all enjoy.

We just want to stress that the purpose of this is to get an idea on what people enjoyed about the art, lore, or themes present in Darkest Dungeon!
