After a successful launch on PC, where it earned a Very Positive rating on Steam, Dark Deity 2 makes its console debut—bringing its rich pixel art, story-driven battles, and deep tactical systems to a new audience. The Switch version preserves everything players loved on PC, including its enhanced ability system, flexible class design, and extensive campaign customization suite.
In Dark Deity 2, players lead a band of legendary heroes into a world on the brink of war. As the newly formed Eternal Delegation, Gwyn and Riordian—descendants of the original game’s protagonist—players will navigate mounting tensions, form uneasy alliances, and face a powerful invading empire.
The game features 30 chapters of voice-acted story content, brought to life by a talented cast including Allegra Clark (Apex Legends, Jujutsu Kaisen) as Queen Rashida. Her commanding performance brings emotional weight to key moments across the campaign’s political and personal conflicts.
Praised for its strategic depth and high replayability, Dark Deity 2 expands upon the foundation laid by the original Dark Deity with refined combat, enhanced customization, and an all-new story that welcomes both returning players and newcomers. With 20 playable characters, 45 branching classes, and a reimagined synergy-based ability system, every playthrough offers fresh tactical opportunities.
Pre-orders will be live starting August 14 on the Nintendo eShop. Dark Deity 2 will launch on Nintendo Switch on September 4th, and is currently available on PC via Steam.
