Early Access festival of grimness Darkest Dungeon has just received a new update that adds an entirely new zone, The Cove. It comes with seven new monsters to murder all your favourite characters, and a couple of new bosses.
The Cove’s resident monsters are fast and bleed resistant, and utilise attacks that cause bleed effects. They also use moves that no other monsters in the game do, like healing and guarding. ”These mechanics may begin to work their way into other dungeon regions in the future,” warns developer Red Hook.
The new zone slots nicely into the existing game, so you don’t need to restart in order to experience the additional content. There;s a bunch of other tweaks and balance fixes including in the new patch, the notes for which are all here. Red Hook does point out that due to the size of the patch some bugs will slide through the net, and asks players to report any that they encounter.
