## Summary

Red Hook Studios has announced new downloadable content for the original Darkest Dungeon, despite having already released and supported its sequel. The return to the 2016 game is notable because its previous DLC arrived in May 2020, and the expansion will incorporate ideas and characters from Darkest Dungeon II.

The paid expansion, The Fire’s Edge, launches on 18 August for PC, PS4 and Nintendo Switch; its price has not been announced. It adds the Duelist and Runaway heroes, new trinket mechanics and Hamlet districts, while Red Hook says it is seeking to preserve existing mods and is developing an improved mod manager. DLC for Darkest Dungeon II is planned for 2027.
