Darkest Dungeon fulfils final Kickstarter stretch goal in new update

A huge update has gone live for Darkest Dungeon, adding over 40 different Town Events to the Hamlet.  This is the last promised stretch goal from the Kickstarter.

Amongst other things, the update includes new Town Events, further polish to the lighting and smoke effects, a ‘Loot All’ button, adjustments to skills, and all of the Backers added to the credits.

The full changelog is detailed below.

  • TOWN EVENTS – bonus recruits, extra supplies, facility closures, and more! Each event is presented with unique key art and commentary by the Narrator (Wayne June), and many are supported with additional in-game art. Be warned, The Hamlet is not as safe as it once was… (Note: you can adjust the frequence of Town Events in the OPTIONS menu, although they are mandatory for NG+)
