'Darkest Dungeon' reveals surprise new DLC, 'The Fire's Edge'
Developer Red Hook has announced the first major content update for Darkest Dungeon in 6 years, ten years following its launch. The forthcoming update, titled The Fire’s Edge, will incorporate two heroes with unique mechanics from its sequel Darkest Dungeon II, along with a variety of brand new features and capabilities.
Features of The Fire’s Edge DLC include:
- Fight your foes, flee your fears as new playable characters: The Duelist and The Runaway. Patterned in burns, draped in tatters and wielding a crude poker, the vagrant Runaway favours fire and stealth when pressed to fight. By contrast, the Duelist stands severe, her ornate capelet conspicuously pierced above the breast. No challenger has yet to hold quarter against her bitter edge.
- Set the dungeon alight with The Runaway’s new combat mechanic: Burn
- Delight in 3 new Districts: Fortify your Hamlet with the Academie Duello, Craftworks, and Archaeological Base Camp
- Added Trinkets, with unique mechanics such as Trigger Uses, Quest Charges and Progressive Trinkets
- New writing, events, and more surprises to come.
Red Hook Studios is planning to release The Fire’s Edge on August 18, 2026. Darkest Dungeon is available on PC (Steam, Epic Game Store, GOG), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, Nintendo Switch, and iOS.
