Red Hook Studios announced that Darkest Dungeon 2, a follow-up to the strategy dungeon crawler Darkest Dungeon is going to early access through the Epic Games Store in 2021. To celebrate the announcement, the studio released a trailer giving us a glimpse of familiar characters now designed in 3D.

Based on the details in Darkest Dungeon’s official website, what you see above is “captured straight out of Unity, and uses the in-game character models and rendering techniques from the game itself.”
Darkest Dungeon 2 was first announce back in 2019 and since then there wasn’t any big updates from Red Hook until now. The sequel going to early access isn’t no surprise as the first game had the same approach, entering Steam’s early access program in 2015 then officially releasing a year later.
