Darkest Dungeon devs discuss the inspiration behind the upcoming "The Color of Madness" DLC

A portion of a NintendoChitChat interview with Red Hook Studios...

NCC: Is the upcoming DLC, The Color of Madness, inspired by Lovecraft’s “The Colour Out of Space”? What can players expect from this DLC when it launches?

RH: It’s absolutely a tribute to that fantastic short story! A comet has crashed into a farmstead on the outskirts of the Hamlet, and you will be able to send parties to control the spread of otherworldly corruption. Unlike Crimson Court, which winds itself around your campaign, Color of Madness will be contained to its own environment, and be more of an opt-in experience. The quests in this region will function differently than other regions, however – this will be a wave-based survival experience, with a few surprises thrown in. We’re eager to reveal more about the Color of Madness – watch our social media channels in March!
