Overview

• Deep of Night is live worldwide as a free update alongside Patch 1.02.2 on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, with access gated behind defeating the Night Aspect Nightlord.
• Progress is tied to a Depth rating that rises on victories and falls on defeats, with Depths 1–3 escalating difficulty and Depths 4–5 introducing an endless gauntlet; multiplayer matches players by Depth.
• Runs prevent pre‑selecting the target Nightlord and ignore Shifting Earth changes, with higher tiers adding modifiers such as concealed map points or an unrevealed final boss.
• Enemies are significantly stronger, with red mutant variants that can drop new red‑tier multi‑affix weapons carrying powerful bonuses and drawbacks, plus three new slots for Depths Relics that also include trade‑offs.
• Patch 1.02.2 delivers broad balance changes, including widespread Nightfarer buffs, caps on overperforming legendaries, and boss tuning such as adjustments to the Everdark Sovereign encounters.
