Red Hook Studios has locked in the Darkest Dungeon 2 release date -- you'll be able to play the sequel to this challenge turn-based RPG just in time for Halloween.

Darkest Dungeon 2 was first teased by Red Hook Studios more than two years ago. The franchise continued to grow with the announcement of a board game, and the developers later confirmed that this Darkest Dungeon sequel was going to be an Epic Games Store exclusive.

The Darkest Dungeon games challenge players to assemble a team of heroes and charge into battle against fearsome monsters. That's not your only enemy, though; you'll have to deal with psychological effects that could be a detriment to your party. It can be a supremely challenging (and highly compelling) experience, so the news of a sequel isn't much of a surprise to anyone who's been following the game.

We haven't heard much about the game in recent months other than the vague notion of a 2021 release date. Now, Red Hook Studios has finally confirmed that you'll be able to dive into the world of Darkest Dungeon 2 late next month.
