Red Hook Studios has announced The Fire's Edge, the first major DLC for the original Darkest Dungeon since 2020, launching August 18.
The expansion brings two heroes from Darkest Dungeon 2 to the first game: the Duelist and the Runaway. The Duelist shifts freely between positions in the party and toggles between offensive and defensive stances. The Runaway relies on mobility, stealth, and introduces a brand new damage type to the original game — fire. A burn mechanic arrives alongside her, previously absent from Darkest Dungeon 1.
The artifact system is also being reworked with new properties including limited-use items and other effects. Three new buildings come to the Hamlet: the Duello Academy, a workshop, and an archaeologist camp.
Red Hook has confirmed that Darkest Dungeon 2 will also receive a new DLC in early 2027.
Darkest Dungeon is available on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG), Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and iOS.
