No idea what to make of this. Feels really random, but I guess we knew that Darkest Dungeon 2 didn't do as well as they wanted it to.

Darkest Dungeon was just one of them titles that isn't that suited for a sequel.

I agree with the sentiment and it’s weird that it can be applied to quite a few recent games, frostpunk 2 comes to mind as the latest one of these

It's an attempt at piggybacking off the success of the first game, but they don't take the time to understand why it was successful and if a sequel is needed. I'd love to see devs try something new when they find success instead of just pumping out a number 2.
