Wishlist and follow
The Steam page for Dead of Darkness 2 is live and accepting wishlists. GOG and the PlayStation Store also list pages for the game. For a solo developer the wishlist count is the main signal of interest ahead of launch, so if you want to see the sequel happen on schedule, following it is the direct move.
System requirements (from the Steam page)
| Minimum | |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 64-bit |
| Processor | Intel i3 5050U or equivalent |
| Memory | 4 GB RAM |
| Graphics | GeForce GT 430 or equivalent |

Languages
The Steam page lists English, French, Italian, German and Spanish (Spain), with full audio for English. The first game shipped with a wider set — German, Spanish, French, Italian, Latin American Spanish, Simplified Chinese and Russian — so the sequel's list may widen closer to launch.
What the developer said about the schedule
The announcement post is short and specific: the sequel takes the presentation further, the port to consoles is planned as with the first game, and "there is no release date yet, but development is going smoothly". The inventory and map overhauls are named as the biggest challenges so far. When a date is set, the Steam page's release field is the first place it will change.
