The Darkest Dungeon 2 release date has been set for 2021, although it's not all good news for PC players who prefer a certain storefront: this upcoming sequel will be a timed Epic Games Store exclusive.

We’re happy to announce that PC modding support for Darkest Dungeon II is nearing its first deployment. Modding has been an instrumental part of the Darkest Dungeon community for many years, and it's something that we have been passionate about supporting with Darkest Dungeon II for some time.
"The Vancouver-based (Canada) indie games developer Red Hook Studios are today very happy and excited to announce that their roguelike /strategy/RPG “Darkest Dungeon II”, is coming to Playstation consoles (PS5 and PS4) via PSN on July 15th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
I personally didn't enjoy 2 as much as I did 1. Actually didn't even finish it.
I do praise that they didn't just carbon copy the 1st game and added more of everything, but I think that during the process a lot of what made Darkest Dungeon appealing to put a ton of hours in, was lost.
The new mode does look cool and I will definitely jump back into it and try it out.
Hello, everyone. Today, we revealed three upcoming indie titles that will appeal to many different PlayStation players. These titles are for those who like to challenge the unknown, our fans who prefer more spooky things, and those looking for something in between. We hope you discover something new to play.
Meaning I'll get it when it comes to GoG or Steam. I'll get it on Epic if they make it free once they're about to leave timed exclusivity, which they sometimes do.
That's really the only value I find in their storefront - accepting free games.
