It certainly wasn’t a factor in the original game, so this is obviously one of the changes for the remake. It’s not clear what The Dark Man’s purpose is, or why he’s tormenting Emily’s uncle. In addition, THQ Nordic also revealed the Collector’s Edition for Alone in the Dark. In this case, we get a glimpse of The Dark Man, who according to protagonist Emily Hartwood, was reportedly following her now-missing uncle. THQ Nordic has dropped a new teaser trailer for their upcoming Alone in the Dark remake which show off a little more of the horrors that await players. The full version of Darkest Dungeon II will feature a dozen playable heroes, five regions, five end bosses, and a metagame hub (“The Altar of Hope”) with extensive persistent upgrades.ĭarkest Dungeon II will fully release on May 8 on the Epic Games Store and on Steam. The update also brings with it a few tweaks and bug fixes across the game, from its UI to combat. Players will be able to unlock her full suite of abilities by experiencing her backstory at Shrines of Reflection, which is told in five chapters, including playable flashback encounters. She is unique in that her healing is tied to her Conviction, allowing her to smite her opponents as her Conviction grows.

The Vestal has been given a bit more versatility from the original Darkest Dungeon, acting now more as a “healer-tank” who is also able to deal significant damage to the enemies’ back row.

As part of Darkest Dungeon II‘s Suffer No Sin update for the Epic Games Store version, the fan favourite character, The Vestal, has been added to the roster of playable heroes. Ahead of Red Hook Studios’ Darkest Dungeon II leaving Steam Early Access this May, the developers have announced a pleasant surprise for longtime fans.
