Red Hook Studios has announced that it's beavering away on a follow-up to its popular Lovecraft-inspired RPG Darkest Dungeon.

Much like the original game, Darkest Dungeon II will utilise a turn-based combat system, only this time we can expect a 'tuned-up' variation of it in terms of mechanics and presentation (via PC Gamer). The game will launch in Early Access, though a release date has yet to be confirmed.

Darkest Dungeon II also promises a 'completely different metagame structure,' which is not so much about 'clearing up your backyard,' but rather 'enduring a grueling journey.'

The original Darkest Dungeon was released on PC back in spring 2016, and was  ported to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita later that year. The game turned up on Nintendo Switch and Xbox One in 2018.

Check out a teaser trailer for the sequel below.
