"Thank you for making Darkest Dungeon II's 1st week of 1.0 an incredible journey!" said developer Red Hook Studios via Twitter.

"We're proud to welcome over 230k new players so far, which brings us to over 500k copies sold, including early access. We have a lot planned for the future-thanks for joining us on this expedition!"

Darkest Dungeon II is also planned for a console release.

This shows how a black hole epic game is for dev.

There are people to this day, that still aren't aware the KH collection is on PC (because it's only on EGS), and it still hasn't hit Steam, nearly 3 years later either.

I have already contacted Square about KH (it was one year ago), they told me they have no plan at this moment for releasing KH on steam. I really think the problem is between Disney and Square (the fee?) more than exclusivity. But you never know with Square, they are some lassy ass. Look, they released a NS/PS of FF pixel remaster with new font and update, they didnt patched the old version on pc..

I feel like it's in no mans land between Disney and SE (likely SE took the EGS deal like they have done for 3 of their other own titles already), and part of the deal was with Disney, which makes it a triple tied deal, and when you know Disney, it's hard to unbind deals with the, unless they do so first.

It just feels weird how SE will port all the pixel remasters and all their other games on Steam, just not KH, but that's all likely because of the multiple contracts that were signed and paid for between 3 parties, which I guess would still make it SE's fault, since they went to both Disney/Epic to have these deals made in the first place.

Either way, they are losing out on money, because hardly many know KH collection is even on PC to begin with.

Yeah and also the people who just dont want to deal with epic like me and i can tell you, i am not alone, i waited until FF7 remake release on steam to buy it. I just dont like their method, We have already enough of this between Xbox and Playstation (wich make a bit more sense, because this isnt the same hardware). But epic bringing the exclusivty between launcher on pc. No thanks. Even if I understand a little their logic. They have no way of gaining market share without it, but it's annoying.

Played this game a bit and when I turning down the graphical settings to low as not to bother my partner with the sounds of my computer the game still looked amazing.
