Studio Red Hook Studios has prepared an unexpected gift for all fans of the cult tactical RPG: the original Darkest Dungeon is getting a brand-new expansion titled The Fire’s Edge 6 years after its last expansion and in honor of the game's 10th anniversary.
Sequel Heroes Brought to the Classic
The DLC release on PC and consoles, including Nintendo Switch, is scheduled for August 18, 2026. The expansion brings beloved characters and mechanics from the sequel, Darkest Dungeon II, into the classic turn-based gameplay of the original game.
Key Features of The Fire’s Edge:
- Two new hero classes: The Duelist and The Runaway.
- Burn mechanic: a new combat burn system brought along by The Runaway.
- 3 new settlement districts: Academie Duello, Craftworks, and Archaeological Base Camp.
