Darkest Dungeon 2: The Binding Blade DLC adds 2 new heroes

Red Hook Studios revealed the first DLC for Darkest Dungeon 2 as The Binding Blade. The new DLC will feature a handful of new features including two new playable heroes with their own unique trinkets, signature items, fully-voiced backstories, and a new roaming mini-boss.

Two new heroes have entered the fray

The new DLC will feature two new playable heroes: The Duelist and The Crusader. The Duelist has the ability to switch between Defensive and Aggressive stances while also ignoring enemy defenses and countering attacks with Riposte. She also has the ability to reduce cooldowns and provide offensive and defensive buffs for her team.

The Crusader is a popular hero from the original Darkest Dungeon who is returning for the sequel. The Crusader is a front-line hero with the ability to tank damage while supporting his team with healing and stress recovery.

Both heroes have their own fully voiced backstories including playable flashback encounters that players can explore. Each hero also has their own trinkets and signature items that players can use to specialize them even further.

A new roaming mini-boss called The Warlord will also make an appearance in The Binding Blade DLC. No further details were provided, but I’m all for new bosses.

I played a good bit of Darkest Dungeon 2 when it entered its Early Access stage but just haven’t had the time to jump back in since it was fully released. This DLC seems like as good a time as any to jump back into the madness.

Darkest Dungeon 2: The Binding Blade releases this December on both the Epic Games Store and Steam.
