Darkest Dungeon: The Crimson Court Release Information

The Crimson Court expansion for Darkest Dungeon now has an official release date. This blood-soaked expansion will come to PC on June 19, 2017, with a $9,99, or your regional equivalent price tag. Acording to the developers, this PC release will serve as a guinea pig of sorts for the subsequent PSN release.

A couple of paragraphs from the official announcement:

Gird yourselves for a bloody campaign against the mist-shrouded menaces that lurk behind the Courtyard gate.

Darkest Dungeon’s first expansion, The Crimson Court, is scheduled for release on PC/Mac/Linux (Steam, GoG, Humble, Twitch) on June 19th 2017, and will cost $9.99 USD. We do not have a hard date for PSN owners, but we are targeting the following month. Inevitable issues result from releasing to a wide audience, and we want to make sure our console build benefits from the hotfixes we’ll be pushing to Steam as issues are discovered. (It’s a longer process to release hotfixes on PSN.)

At Red Hook, we’re working around the clock on the exciting new content and features that will be coming to Hamlet next month. Drawing hands are sore, spreadsheets are bursting with data, and eyes are blurry, but our own excitement is pushing us ever forward! We’ve been pretty tight-lipped on details but we’ll be revealing more information in the coming weeks including screenshots, boss teases, and a comprehensive look at the new class.

In case you’ve missed some of the earlier announcements on what to expect, let’s recap:

• A new hero class. “Awash in blood and delusion, they bear the burden of a thousand lifetimes.”
• A new wandering boss: The Fanatic
• A new dungeon region: The Courtyard
• A full faction of new deadly foes
• 4 new, unique Courtyard Bosses with some of the most complex and devious mechanics yet.
• Massive, sprawling maps with locked doors, prisoner rooms, and progress saves
• Districts: New prestige buildings that offer permanent, estate-wide bonuses
• Lore-driven trinket sets for all heroes – with set bonuses!
