The Bounty Hunter Joins the Fray in Darkest Dungeon 2

In the upcoming sequel to Darkest Dungeon, players will be able to hire a new hero - the Bounty Hunter. This fan favorite character was first teased last year and has finally been confirmed as part of the roster in Darkest Dungeon 2. But what exactly is this mysterious figure all about?

According to the game's narrator, the Bounty Hunter joins the party unless you have only one hero remaining. In that case, he will accompany the lone survivor. Hiring him will cost a total of 4 Candles of Hope, and he will replace a hero of your choice. However, it's worth noting that unlike other characters in the game, players cannot immediately hire the Bounty Hunter at the start of their run.

The narrator describes the Bounty Hunter as someone who has 'known fear and failure in ample portion, but rise again to reclaim a glimmer of hope from the spreading stain of the Darkest Dungeon.' This enigmatic figure seems to embody the themes of resilience and determination that are central to the Darkest Dungeon series.

Darkest Dungeon 2 is shaping up to be an exciting new chapter in the series. The game's unique combat mechanic has been 'tuned-up' for this sequel, and it will feature a completely different structure involving a grueling journey instead of dungeon-delving in a single locale. Players can expect a singleplayer roguelike road trip of the damned as they form a party, equip their stagecoach, and set off across a decaying landscape to try and avert the apocalypse.

Darkest Dungeon 2 is set to launch on the Epic Games Store in early access in Q3 2021. In the meantime, fans can stay up-to-date with all the latest information and guides at the Darkest Dungeon 2 Wiki Guide, which features comprehensive resources on heroes, weapons, armor, quirks, trinkets, enemies, boss guides, builds, and walkthroughs.

With the Bounty Hunter joining the fray, players will have even more options for building their dream team of heroes. Will you be taking advantage of this new addition when Darkest Dungeon 2 launches later this year?
