Things Are Going To Get Completely DARQ On The Next-Gen

DARQ

The release date for the DARQ: Complete Edition is announced to bring DARQ to the Switch and Next-Gen systems soon

Not too long ago we all had a chance to check out the horror-puzzle title DARQ on the PC, PS4, and Xbox One. It is still an option out there to give a go if you want to see just what Unfold Games had to offer us all back in 2019. You could do that, or you could look ahead to March 17th and March 25th for when we will see the DARQ: Complete Edition hit the Switch and then the PS5/Xbox Series X respectively. Yes, the game is finally making the jump to the next-gens and for those that picked it up already, for a free upgrade. Just another title you will be able to use on these new beasts we are still taming.

This new edition of DARQ, for those that do not own it already, will bring with it all of the DLC that is out there to date and a few other features depending on the system you are playing on. The upgrade will bring the 4K resolution and 30fps or a 1080p resolution with 60fps as seems standard. For those looking to play with the DARQ: Complete Edition on the PS5 it will have some of the DualSense haptics that are all the rage but there are no details on just what those will entail. Thankfully, we do not need to wait too long to be able to dive into all of that and see just what we might be getting with this title. Just over the next few weeks and then we will be fully up to speed.

DARQ: Complete Edition — Release Date Reveal

Feardemic has announced Unfold Games’ surrealist horror puzzler, DARQ: Complete Edition, will be available on Switch March 18th and next-gen consoles (Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5) March 25th. Owners of DARQ: Complete Edition on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will be able to update to their respective next-gen editions for FREE.

Fall into the DARQ as Lloyd, a boy who finds himself trapped in a lucid nightmare. Unable to wake up, Lloyd has to face his fears and explore the darkest corners of his subconscious in order to escape to the waking world. As Lloyd, you’ll survive the nightmare through stealth, physics-defying exploration, and find objects to solve puzzles and discover the way free.

Both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X editions will be playable in cinematic mode at 4K resolution at 30 FPS, or in performance mode at 1800p resolution at 60 FPS. Additionally, the PlayStation 5 version will take advantage of DualSense haptics.

DARQ takes you on a journey through Lloyd's dreams that quickly turn into a loop of nightmares. Each attempt to wake up sinks Lloyd deeper into his lucid, subconscious-driven dreams. Lloyd has to adapt to the new world, re-learn gravity, and stretch his mind in order to solve puzzles and sneak past the creatures guarding the corners of DARQ.

Will you decipher the true meaning of Lloyd’s dreams?

The Complete Edition includes:

  • DARQ — Original Game
  • The Tower DLC — Lloyd wakes up in his dreams again only to find himself in a Tower filled with many new mysteries, puzzles, and creepy creatures
  • The Crypt DLC — Another loop of nightmares continues, introducing new mechanics and puzzles in a crypt filled with dark surprises

Are you curious to find out what the haptics will be or will you be one of the gamers missing out on it given the hardware? When do you think we will get to see the systems running at 4k with 60fps natively or will that only be for the truly next-gen titles to come out there? Let us all know down in the comments and then feel free to discuss it all as you wish. If there is anything more to share for the DARQ: Complete Edition, we will have it on the site for you.
