Darkest Dungeon will receive new downloadable content — its first in over six years. This was revealed today, through press release means.
A forthcoming update, The Fire’s Edge will incorporate two heroes with unique mechanics from its sequel, along with brand new content, features and events.
This will all be made available to players on August 18th — at least on PS5, Switch and PC. Xbox players will have to wait for a later release date.

The Fire’s Edge introduces exciting new content and mechanics to Darkest Dungeon. Fresh additions include two new characters—The Duelist and The Runaway—new districts, Trinkets, and for those wishing to manifest optional derangements, tools are being forged for their exploits. Those who have explored Darkest Dungeon II will be pleased to learn that the Burn combat mechanic will be incorporated into the game.
The Fire’s Edge Features:
- Fight your foes, flee your fears as new playable characters: The Duelist and The Runaway. Patterned in burns, draped in tatters and wielding a crude poker, the vagrant Runaway favours fire and stealth when pressed to fight. By contrast, the Duelist stands severe, her ornate capelet conspicuously pierced above the breast. No challenger has yet to hold quarter against her bitter edge.
- Set the dungeon alight with The Runaway’s new combat mechanic: Burn
- Delight in 3 new Districts: Fortify your Hamlet with the Academie Duello, Craftworks, and Archaeological Base Camp
Added Trinkets, with unique mechanics such as Trigger Uses, Quest Charges and Progressive Trinkets - New writing, events, and more surprises to come.
