Following in the footsteps of many video games such as Resident Evil and Bloodborne, Red Hook Studios’ punishing RPG Darkest Dungeon is getting the board game treatment. Board game publisher Mythic Games announced that they are Kickstarting a new game based on Darkest Dungeon, with a target launch date of Fall 2020.
The brief announcement was made during The Dice Tower’s Board Game Spectacular Breakfast stream. “Darkest Dungeon is an indie video game that has been extremely popular,” said Mythic Games’ co-owner Léonidas Vesperini. “There are big fans out there, but just the game itself, the universe, and the atmosphere is just awesome, and we… we won’t tell you too much for now, but we can just say that this is our next [game].”
Obviously, that’s not a heck of a lot to go on, but in the meantime, if you haven’t already, you can pick up Darkest Dungeon with a cool 75% discount as part of the Steam Summer Sale. You can also grab the game on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch.
The game’s sequel, Darkest Dungeon II, is currently in development.
