Thanks to all of you, we funded in 6 minutes! From all of us at Vault and Red Hook, thank you for expanding the Darkest Dungeon canon past the end of the second game and into all that awaits us in the future. 

In our pre-Launch poll, you chose to send Highwayman and Flagellant on their first Expedition. When you hit our first funding goals, you've opened the Expedition unlock map and our heroes have reached the first chamber!

Click here to vote on your reward... and on which Hero will suffer the stress of your decisions.

In our reward polls, you'll have roughly one day to discuss and decide, as a group, which items to obtain and which Heroes suffer the burden of your choices. Choices will get more difficult--with much greater risks alongside greater rewards--as we progress through the campaign.

We'll be moving fast through Map 1, so check back to see which rooms have unlocked and which loot you'll want to add to your reward tiers. To make it easy on everyone, we'll link to the most up-to-date quests at the top of the campaign page.

Surviving Heroes will be honored and celebrated in the campaign, so do your best to keep them alive.

Maan House's incredible commission tiers have been snapped up! We began the day with 10 and they were gone within minutes. Since this seemed a little sad for late-day backers, we reached out to Maan to see if he could accommodate additional tiers, and happily we've got 10 more half-body commissions available, as well as our final commission tier featuring a full-body ink commission at the largest available size, A3 (roughly 11x17). 

As a reminder, these commissions will be for Darkest Dungeon characters (and original characters) only. You can compare and find more information about these two options by clicking below:

What else have we unlocked today? In addition to the map, you have all unlocked a Binaural "Stress" Soundscape and our first Hero wallpaper, which wereadded automatically to every tier! We'll be adding and keeping track of every addition to the campaign through the Pledge page or pledge sub-pages.

You've also unlocked a new digital wallpaper set, which will gain more wallpapers as we continue to unlock and employ new Heroes. Note: after the first Map is complete, new rewards will shift away from digital and into the physical reward and upgrade space.

We're working on the next reward, which is a book size upgrade. We're 2/3 of the way to unlocking this upgrade, which will apply to ALL hardcover editions in this campaign.

That's it for now... it has been a thrilling Day 1, and the greatest challenges lie ahead. We're looking forward to delving deeper with you all.

As always, we remain,
Vault
