If you love to get hit with the sarcastic jokes of the narrator (or the Evil Hand), love the gameplay of torturing heroes (The Sadistic Evil is very proud) or just want to do your evil part – the Asking-For-Nothing-Less Evil would very much appreciate your evil vote! (Also, because its recently hired creatures have failed to do their evil job and are now being “taken care of” *cough*)
Hail to the Absolute Evil (yes Thalya, hail to the Queen of Evil as well)!
Sincerely, The Award-Hungry Evil and the hard-working Snots at Realmforge Studios and Kalypso Media

Dungeons 4 - Update 1.1
Faithful followers of the Ultimate Evil,
We have just released a small update, which among other things addresses some Multiplayer issuesas well as the slowdown effect for consoles and Windows PC and Game Pass. Furthermore, we have also fixed a crash, that occurred for some users when placing magic batteries into gimmicks that were under construction.
For more details, please check out the full changelog below.
With an evil laughter Hahahahah…*cough*!
Changes
[Coop-Multiplayer] Several improvements to the connection between host and client when they are located in different server regions. Depending on the location of the server or the Internet speed, some slowdown may still be occurring.
[Coop-Multiplayer] Fixed an issue where the host and client were connected automatically via a distant server region, which slowed down the gameplay. Now the host and client can select the server region they want to play in. To do this, go to options and select your “server region”. On default the server region is set to auto.
[Xbox Series X|S & PS5 & WinStore] Languages can now also be changed via the in-game options.
Fixed some of the settings in the options menu not being accessible using a controller.
Fixed an issue where placing Magic Batteries into gimmicks that were under construction could lead to a crash.
OUT NOW! Dungeons 4 - Unleashes The Absolute Evil on the Overworld
OUT NOW! Dungeons 4 Unleashes The Absolute Evil on the Overworld
Evil never looked so good
Beware do-gooders of the Overworld, for war is on the horizon. The Absolute Evil has officially been unleashed upon the Overworld with the official launch of Dungeons series’ highly anticipated sequel, Dungeons 4. Sound the alarm and prepare your traps, because Dungeons 4 is now available on Steam, day one on Xbox Game Pass for console and PC Game Pass for PC and is available in Standard or Deluxe Editions on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PlayStation 5. The Deluxe Edition provides hellish extras for the most daring minions, including the Digital Artbook, exclusive Dungeons 3 Evil Hand Legacy Skin, remastered Storming of Dollaran Map from Dungeons 3, and the Official Dungeons 4 Soundtrack. Ensuring victory over the heroes of the Overworld. With larger dungeons, an expansive Overworld, enhanced co-op play, more evil critters, and the addition of the infuriating Dwarves, Evil has never looked this good!
Building on the success of the iconic Dungeons series, Dungeons 4 unleashes evilness upon the Overworld with a mix of real-time strategy, simulation, and dungeon management gameplay. The story follows the Dark Elf Thalya, recently returned from imprisonment as she sows chaos in in the Overworld and ultimately teams up with a very unlikely partner along with the embodiment of The Absolute Evil re-incarnated, The Baby Evil – Gorgu. Reinforced with a new ability-based Perk System and Baby Evil at her side, Thalya is certain she will finally overcome the forces of good once and for all. As if Thalya didn’t have enough to deal with, the developers at Realmforge have decided to make Dungeons 4 even more challenging by adding in a new adversary. Dwarves have arrived in Dungeons 4 ready to tunnel destruction through carefully crafted dungeons to prevent The Absolute Evil from turning the beautiful Overworld into Evil’s most pleasurable holiday paradise. Prepare for the onslaught of Dwarves by ensuring the Dungeon is well-protected by traps and stocked with minions ready to thwart those pesky intruders. Think the Absolute Evil would stop there? No way! Those brave enough to face the forces of good can have an evil buddy tag along in the adventure with dynamic two-player co-op multiplayer, managing and controlling the same dungeon with a unified evil vision. What would a new Dungeons game be without the storytelling prowess of the beloved narrator? The undeniably charming and fan-favorite English narrator Kevan Brighting returns to the carnage to chronicle every conquest and provide helpful... or at least satisfying commentary throughout the campaign.
The PC versions on Steam, the Microsoft Store and the Epic Games Store will also include a "beta" version of a level editor that allows users to create and share content.
Dungeons 4 is out now on Steam, with Xbox Game Pass for console and PC Game Pass for PC and is also available on Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. Dungeons 4 will bring The Absolute Evil to the Nintendo Switch™ in 2024.
Features:
Everything is better with Dwarves™: The Dwarves have arrived to build their underground strongholds as the hardy fellows compete with the Ever-Expanding Evil for space and resources.
It makes your Dungeon great again: Dungeons are up to four times larger than before with many more creatures who await the All-Commanding Evil’s orders to conquer the Overworld. Now the time has come for massive armies and truly sprawling dungeons!
New and shiny: An ability-based Perk System for Thalya, the Absolute Evil’s trusted
cough* and most loyal subordinate, grants her impressive new powers. The Absolute Evil can now enjoy taking over the world, governing the creatures and slapping subordinates even more with the customizable Evil Hand.
Minions, everywhere: The Horde, the Undead, and the Demons wait to do The Absolute Evil’s bidding, with more creatures eagerly following Evil’s orders, and slightly more helpful Snots who will play a much more prominent role this time around.
Many ways to tell the story: A long campaign, narrated by the beloved English Narrator Kevan Brighting, as well as several skirmish maps all to challenge your rule as the Absolute Evil.
Change the world: Spread your Evilness across the Overworld to bring lush and green environments over to the dark side, now shining even more vibrant and beautifully evil as you take control over new biomes.
Work together, slay together: 2-player co-op multiplayer allows both players to manage one Dungeon together with a unified evil vision. All maps from the skirmish mode and the campaign are playable in co-op.
A Very Evil Halloween!
Happy Evil Halloween!
👻Boo-hoo! It is the second most boo-tiful time of the year (The best clearly being the coming of the Ultimate Evil on November 9th, duh.)! Halloween is the season when the Snots are covered in bedsheets (better for everyone’s eyeballs anyway) and are thrown out into sent across the overworld to scatter batches of totally-not-poisoned chocolate-coated Brussel sprouts among the pesky good! A truly haunting experience. Muahahahahaaaaaaaaaa! 🎃
Lets just hope the snots didn’t forget their Dungeon spoo-key, or they will have to sleep outside.
Happy Halloween!
Evil Friday the 13th to all underlings!
Evil Friday the 13th to all underlings!
The Totally-Not-Demonically-Possessed Evil is celebrating Friday the 13th with a big show for his soon to-be-clapping (or was it awaiting slapping?) creatures.
Finally, he could put the Little Snots to good use and turn them into puppets! (they may or may not be real puppets, it’s not stated in the script). After having displayed his puppets for the show, the creatures had to get back to work (of course).
Some Snots in the Arcanium reported, that they suddenly heard a "Ki Ki Ki, Ma Ma Ma" sound. They heard it as "kill for mana" and destroyed everything and everyone in the dungeon. Did they get possessed by a demon during the show? It did look like a summoning ritual…
No, it's just Friday The 13th! And everybody is gearing up for the launch of Dungeons 4 in 27 days
