The next generation of a popular indie tactical RPG has arrived, bringing with it a new story, new heroes, and a host of deep new systems.
Dark Deity 2, the sequel to the strategy hit, has launched today, 7th November 2025. This new chapter from developer Sword & Axe and publisher indie.io is now available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC for £24.99.
Set a quarter of a century after the first game, Dark Deity 2 follows the descendants of Irving as they face a new threat, navigate treacherous politics, and lead 20 scrappy heroes-to-be into a war they are not prepared for.
A Desperate Defense Against a New Threat
The story begins 25 years after the original Dark Deity. Irving and the Eternal Order have carefully rebuilt Verroa, but a new threat looms on the horizon. The neighboring Holy Asverellian Empire needs new lands, and the fragile, fractious Verroa seems ripe for the taking.
You must take command of the Eternal Delegation, led by Irving’s descendants, Gwyn and Riordian. This is a land torn apart by factions and strife, and your decisions will determine the shape of your alliances and drastically change the coming battles. You must decide who to support and who to throw to the wolves – but weigh each option carefully, as your choices may fundamentally change how you play.
Strategise, Prevail, and… Randomise!
Dark Deity 2 is built on a deep, turn-based tactical combat system that promises endless replayability.
This is a game for those who love to tinker with their team. You will command 20 unique heroes and guide them through 45 branching classes, each with its own tactical niche. But the real depth comes from the skills, abilities, and gear that can completely upend your tactics.
Hardship will also forge (or break) bonds between your heroes as they fight against seemingly impossible odds.
In a fantastic move inspired by the fan communities of popular RPGs, Dark Deity 2 features a built-in comprehensive randomiser and campaign customisation suite right from launch. This allows for near-limitless replayability, with options for a random recruitment order, custom difficulty runs with stat sliders, and much more.
Your War Horn
