There'll be a brand-new location in the hamlet once the DLC is installed, taking the form of the titular Butcher's Circus, "a weathered and bloodstained pavilion tent" that serves as the venue for gladiatorial PvP combat. According to Red Hook, The Butcher's Circus - which is the game's fifth bit of DLC, following on from The Crimson Court, Shield Breaker, Color of Madness, and Musketeer - will introduce PvP arena battles "against your friends and enemies alike". Behold the Butcher's Circus!Īll of which is to say that a PvP mode is about the last thing I would have expected to see in Darkest Dungeon, but here we are, well outside of April Fool's Day. Its unquestionable allure was found in the sheer thrill of besting its cliff-like difficulty curve, which delighted in sending party members to the brink of madness, imbuing them with (usually) negative quirks and making already tough challenges even harder - in turn forcing a stressfully satisfying balancing act between deeper exploration and hero preservation. Up until now, Darkest Dungeon, which initially launched in 2016, has remained a staunchly solo pursuit, tasking players with delving ever-deeper into the antediluvian corners of an ancient hamlet and its surrounding environs - seeking treasure, avoiding traps, and battling cosmic horrors in time-honoured turn-based fashion. It's called The Butcher's Circus and, rather unexpectedly, adds PvP arena battles to the previously single-player game.
Developer Red Hook Studios' brilliant but punishing Lovecraft-inspired strategy RPG, Darkest Dungeon, is getting a brand-new chunk of DLC next month.
