For four years the grueling dungeon-crawler Darkest Dungeon has let players suffer alone. In May, new downloadable content will add a multiplayer arena where they can suffer together.
Red Hook Games announced the new content back on April 1, but because it was April Foolsā Day, everyone assumed it was just a joke. Multiplayer? In Darkest Dungeon? All these years later? Yesterday, it confirmed that a free new DLC called The Butcherās Circus was in fact very real and coming to Steam in May.

Based on Red Hookās description, it also sounds like there will be a new set of gear and accessories for players to strategize character builds around as well as a ranked system to build notoriety in. The studio hasnāt said if or when this update will be coming to console.
Red Hook also announced last year that itās working on a full-blown sequel, and co-founder Chris Bourassa confirmed on Twitter that the team is still moving āfull steam aheadā on Darkest Dungeon 2.
Correction: a previous version of this article described the upcoming Butcherās Circus DLC as paid, but it will actually be free.
