We did it. About 12 hours ago, backers navigated our Heroes through the final map of the expedition, unlocking one of our coolest final upgrades to the Deluxe edition... all Deluxe hardcovers will now also include a dust jacket featuring art by none other than Darkest Dungeon Co-founder & Creative Director Chris Bourassa himself, which he generously offered to create for you and this graphic novel campaign.

We all love comics and we love bringing new Darkest Dungeon to you all... It doesn't get better than that.

Each Deluxe edition hardcover purchased through the live campaign* will include the dust jacket automatically so you get some stellar new art from the OG himself along with your beautiful books. If you are in any Pledge level tier from Darker and up (or have an add-on) that contains the Deluxe hardcover, this dust jacket is yours.

*we can't guarantee we'll be including this dust jacket for free with Deluxe hardcovers after the end of the campaign/ via the post-campaign store... this one was really earned by the live campaign backers, so we want to keep that particular bonus exclusive to everyone who joined us this month.

Still hanging out in the standard hardcover tier? No worries... but after all unlocked upgrades (the size increase, the black foil, the glow, the new edge option, and the dust jacket) the Deluxe book is now pretty stacked, and is limited to this campaign. Adjusting your pledge up will also keep the Backer Train running strong. Just throwing that out there!  

We have one last Overtime Challenge tomorrow! Add foil to your Chris Bourassa dust jacket, yours free if we can maintain an unbroken train of backers from 9am PT to 5pm PT... make it to 5pm unbroken, and that final complimentary foil will be yours.

Remember: any new pledges, new add-ons, or pledge upgrades ALL count towards the Overtime train! Just check out the timer to see the train's status... One backer per 10 minutes will keep Overtime safely in play.

We'll be updating this Achievement page hourly... good luck!

The Stream goes live at 9am PT... this Update is scheduled to go out at 8:50am PT, so if you're reading this, it may be live in just a few moment. Access the stream through our main page! 

If you miss the Stream, never fear... we will be posting it to the community section once we've uploaded the file to our YT page, so you can always watch it there later.

We will be opening the post-campaign store, and now that the active needs of the campaign are complete, we think it's safe to say that our creative team can really lock in on the graphic novel's production! 

We'll also be sending monthly updates so we can be fully transparent about the comic's production, reward production status, and fulfillment timelines as we get closer to shipping. You'll never be very long without an update, but if you ever have any more urgent questions for us, the best way to reach us is via our Discord or at [email protected]. 

Thank you all so much for making the Darkest Dungeon graphic novel campaign an incredibly fun one for us! We at Vault wanted to thank you all so much for playing the campaign dungeons, strategizing in the reward polls, sharing your Darkest Dungeon thoughts and questions, and just generally being a bunch of cool folks. We hope you had a good time! 

We'll kick off our updates on November 19, and will check in every month after that.

Until then, we gratefully remain,
Vault
