Darkest Dungeon II reveals Switch physical release

Darkest Dungeon II recently came to Switch as a digital game, but now we have confirmation that a physical release is happening as well.

Skybound Games will be distributing the title at retail. You’ll actually be getting more than just the game here. Each unit includes a redemption code for the original soundtrack, stagecoach papercraft with assembly instructions, and sleeve packaging.

Darkest Dungeon II has only been on the eShop for a few weeks as it launched on July 15. We’ve posted the official eShop description below.

Darkest Dungeon II is a roguelike road trip of the damned. Form a party, equip your stagecoach, and set off across the decaying landscape on a last gasp quest to avert the apocalypse. The greatest dangers you face, however, may come from within…

Gather your courage and ride out into the chaos of a world undone. Four heroes and a stagecoach are all that stand between darkness and salvation.

Each expedition lasts from 30 minutes to several hours. Even an untimely end will arm you with resources that can be spent to improve your next journey.

As travels progress, heroes bond with each other or grate on each others’ nerves, leading to desperately needed combat synergies or journey-ending dysfunction. Manage their stress and interaction to keep the team together until the bitter end.

Face Your Failures: Uncover and experience the tragic origin stories of each hero and unlock their full potential.

Nightmarish Environs: From the burning Sprawl to the diseased Foetor, the road will challenge your strategies and your endurance.

And more…

• Rest your weary, shell-shocked heroes at the Inn, where you can manage their stress and relationships with a variety of diversions and delights.
• Uncover and experience the tragic origin stories of the heroes.
• A stylish and dynamic evolution of Darkest Dungeon’s signature art style.
• A return of the narration system and voice actor Wayne June!
• Exciting improvements to the turn-based combat from Darkest Dungeon.

Pre-orders for the physical version of Darkest Dungeon II on Switch are now open here. The game is tentatively slated for October 22, 2024 at retail.

Those looking to pick up Darkest Dungeon II immediately can grab it on the eShop. More coverage can be found here.
