Now, however, there's a new multiplayer twist to that rock-solid core. And now, two months on, Butcher's Circus, as the new DLC is known, is available to download on Steam.īutcher's Circus is, of course, a rather dramatic departure for Darkest Dungeon since the game's release in 2016, its punishing expeditions to the shadowy antediluvian corners of its ancient hamlet - requiring players to safely shepherd their party of broken heroes through sanity-shattering horrors - have remained staunchly solo endeavours. Back in April, developer Red Hook Studios announced it was working on a free PvP mode for its deliciously punishing Lovecraftian strategy RPG, Darkest Dungeon.
