Another unfortunate adventurer is about to make his way to Red Hook Studios’ moody, Gothic dungeon crawler Darkest Dungeon in the next update, the crusty yet effective Hound Master.
We don’t know exactly which role he’ll take up in combat, but I’d imagine he’ll probably be able to occupy both the front and back ranks, flinging ranged abilities at people while sending his faithful canine pal into battle.
Other additions listed include new diseases (fingers crossed for Scrofula!), new sanitarium features, cloud save functionality and corpses that remain in combat. There’s also a bunch of other fixes and tweaks.
So, a new class, but also a variety of ways for said class to die horribly. Pure Darkest Dungeon. With one hand they giveth, with the other they taketh away. Red Hook hasn’t discussed the new additions in detail just yet, but the appropriately named Hounds and Corpses update is coming on July 15, so expect more information soon.
