Ahead of the release next Monday of the “Inhuman Bondage” DLC for Darkest Dungeon II to PC, developer Red Hook Studios has released the customary launch trailer, hinting at the corrosive, oozing threat you’ll be facing.
With Inhuman Bondage, players will explore a long forgotten subterranean mini-region in The Catacombs to face the liquefied dead. This is a high risk, high reward region featuring a faction of new slime sodden enemies and new items, that will bring variety and challenge to both the original Confessions mode and the upcoming new Kingdoms mode.
Aiding players in this new region is The Abomination, a reclusive alchemist that comes with a unique battle mechanic, allowing him to transform into a fearsome monstrosity. However, you’ll need to deal with his spiralling stress, as a result. The Abomination will come complete with unique trinkets, signature items, palettes, weapon kits and a fully voiced origin story including playable flashback encounters.
As mentioned, Inhuman Bondage will be accompanied by the new free game mode for Darkest Dungeon II in Kingdoms, along with its first of three adventure modules “Hunger of the Beast Clan” on the same day. Featuring a completely reimagined game structure, Kingdoms is a parallel game experience to the Confessions game mode. Players will be tasked with defending the realm from incursions by all-new enemy-factions, with the first being the rotting and ravenous beastmen.
Inhuman Bondage arrive January 27th for Darkest Dungeons II on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch will receive the DLC at a later date.
