After years of anticipation, fans of the popular game Darkest Dungeon 2 will finally be getting the mod support they have been waiting for. The journey to introduce mod support for the sequel has been a challenging one, but developers Red Hook Studios are now ready to roll out this highly requested feature.
It has been nearly three years since the release of Darkest Dungeon 2, and over a year since it transitioned from early access to version 1.0. Throughout this time, fans have been eagerly awaiting the inclusion of mod support, a feature that was present in the original game. However, the switch to a new engine for Darkest Dungeon 2 presented significant technical challenges for the developers in implementing modding capabilities.
Red Hook Studios has announced their plans to introduce mod support for Darkest Dungeon 2 in stages. The first update, set to arrive before the end of June, will allow modders to edit the game’s .csv files and share their creations through Steam Workshop integration. This initial phase will enable players to create custom items, hero palettes, and more, laying the foundation for a more robust modding experience in the future.
The decision to roll out mod support gradually is aimed at gathering feedback from the community to shape the direction of future updates. Red Hook Studios acknowledges that fully fleshing out mod support for the game will take time, especially with other key releases on the horizon. The team remains committed to working closely with players to provide the necessary tools for creating custom content, including the possibility of custom characters in the future.
As the release of mod support for Darkest Dungeon 2 draws near, fans can look forward to a new era of creativity and customization within the game. While the journey to this point has been long and challenging, the dedication of developers and the support of the community have made this exciting feature a reality. Stay tuned for more updates on the evolving world of modding in Darkest Dungeon 2.
