Dungeons of Dusk Reimagines Dusk as a Turn-Based Dungeon Crawler for 2026

Developed by 68k Studios for New Blood, the canon-set entry inserts a grid-based RPG between the shooter’s episodes.

A cult classic, retro-style FPS is being reimagined as a turn-based RPG, and it’s both fascinating and jarring

Overview

  • The spinoff’s reveal trailer premiered during the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted 2025, with a Steam page live for wishlisting.
  • Dungeons of Dusk swaps free movement for tiled turns, layering morale and technique points over health and ammo to govern actions.
  • Players get a 30-level campaign plus survival with permadeath and randomly generated dungeons, an arena mode, and a boss rush across five difficulties.
  • The story bridges the original game’s episodes and brings back familiar weapons and enemies alongside new foes in a subterranean setting.
  • New Blood publishes while development is led by 68k Studios rather than Dusk creator David Szymanski, with a broad 2026 release window and coverage noting echoes of mid‑2000s Doom and Wolfenstein RPGs.
