We're extremely excited about our launch next week, and hope you are too. In our pre-launch posts, we've chatted with our creative team, shared concept art, introduced our in-campaign unlock game, and even unlocked the full set of pre-launch bonuses for all folks who reserved their pledge. We want to make sure everyone has a chance to partake, so remember--they're open only until we go live, then they disappear!

Day 1 is going to launch hard with our main tiers, including

Additionally, we will have some LIMITED tiers available. One of them is a limited physical commission tier from Maan House, who has kindly agreed to create a small number of ink drawings for our backers. Commissions can include your favorite heroes or characters from Darkest Dungeon, or even an original character design for those of you who love to mod and make the story your own. Maan usually works digitally (check out the last update's interviews, if you missed them), so this is a rare opportunity to grab some amazing original art from him. 

Day 1 will also bring us our first chance to unlock bonuses, and to enter the dungeon for the real challenges.

Since we're on the topic, enjoy another little glimpse at the cover art process from Maan House! As with all big creative directions in this project, The Red Hook team was instrumental in providing feedback and helping to direct key graphics like our cover art.

Our teams eventually landed on an option very similar to the final sketch, but all of the compositions shown here are terrific... which one is your favorite?

Our next update is Thursday October 1. We'll have a closer look at some key rewards, and a VERY important poll decision for you all that will impact our first Expedition, and access to our first set of unlock rewards. So you'll definitely want to show up for that discussion... at least, if you want to give yourself the best chance of escaping the dungeon with as much loot as possible.

Until then, we remain,
