As previously confirmed, Kingdoms is a standalone, free new game mode that will be available for everyone, while Inhuman Bondage is going to be a paid expansion.

Darkest Dungeon 2’s new standalone game mode, Kingdoms, and DLC, dubbed Inhuman Bondage, were both set to launch together in the final months of 2024, but with the year now drawing to a close, developer Red Hook Studios has announced a slight delay for both content additions.

The developer has announced with a press release that Darkest Dungeon 2’s new mode Kingdoms and its Inhuman Bondage DLC will both be released on January 27. As previously confirmed, the former will be free for all players, while the latter is paid DLC.

Specifically, Kingdoms is described as a standalone, parallel game experience to the Confessions mode, and is kicking off with the first of three themed adventure modules, titled Hunger of the Beast Clan. Meanwhile, the Inhuman Bondage DLC also brings a host of new content, including a new mini-region and playable hero.

Darkest Dungeon 2 is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Kingdoms and Inhuman Bondage will both be available on PC only upon their launch in January, with console releases coming later.
