Sometimes the wait really is worth it, even if that wait has been over half a decade. After six long years, Red Hook Studios‘s highly acclaimed fantasy RPG Darkest Dungeon is receiving another DLC. The Fire’s Edge will release on August 18th for PC via Steam, Mac, PlayStation, and Nintendo platforms. The XBOX version will be released at a later date.

Prior to this announcement, there were four total DLCs for Darkest Dungeon. The fifth one, however, beckons the players back:

“The Fire’s Edge introduces exciting new content and mechanics to Darkest Dungeon. Fresh additions include two new characters—The Duelist and The Runaway—new districts, Trinkets, and for those wishing to manifest optional derangements, tools are being forged for their exploits. Those who have explored Darkest Dungeon II will be pleased to learn that the Burn combat mechanic will be incorporated into the game.”

Players can expect a ton of features, new and returning, in this release:

• “Fight your foes, flee your fears as new playable characters: The Duelist and The Runaway. Patterned in burns, draped in tatters and wielding a crude poker, the vagrant Runaway favours fire and stealth when pressed to fight. By contrast, the Duelist stands severe, her ornate capelet conspicuously pierced above the breast. No challenger has yet to hold quarter against her bitter edge.
• Set the dungeon alight with The Runaway’s new combat mechanic: Burn
• Delight in 3 new Districts: Fortify your Hamlet with the Academie Duello, Craftworks, and Archaeological Base Camp
• Added Trinkets, with unique mechanics such as Trigger Uses, Quest Charges and Progressive Trinkets
• New writing, events, and more surprises to come.”
