The Long Awaited Arrival of Mod Support in Darkest Dungeon 2

It has been a long time coming for fans of Darkest Dungeon 2, eagerly anticipating the arrival of mod support in the game. After three years since the sequel hit early access and over a year since its official release, players have been patiently waiting for this crucial feature to make its way into the game.

The developers at Red Hook Studios have faced numerous challenges in implementing mod support in Darkest Dungeon 2. The transition to a new engine for the sequel has made the process much more complex compared to the first game. As a result, the team has had to put in significant effort to enable modding capabilities in the game.

To address these challenges, Red Hook Studios has announced plans to gradually introduce mod support through a series of updates. The first mod update is expected to arrive before the end of June, allowing modders to edit the game’s .csv files and share them as downloadable mods via new Steam Workshop integration.

With the initial mod update, players will have the ability to create custom items such as trinkets, combat gear, inn items, and equipment for the stagecoach. Additionally, modders will be able to create additional hero palettes and upload them for other players to enjoy. Red Hook Studios also has plans to eventually allow players to create custom characters, but acknowledge that it will take some time to reach that point.

The team at Red Hook Studios is committed to working closely with the game’s community to create the tools needed for robust mod support in Darkest Dungeon 2. They emphasize the importance of receiving feedback from players to guide the direction of future mod initiatives. The goal is to create a fully finished modding experience for players to enjoy in the game.

The long-awaited arrival of mod support in Darkest Dungeon 2 is finally within reach. With the first mod update set to release soon, players can look forward to a new level of customization and creativity in the game. As Red Hook Studios continues to work on expanding modding capabilities, the future looks bright for fans of the dark and challenging world of Darkest Dungeon.
