Dark and Darker has been updated to include one of the community's "top-requested features" with its latest hotfix, turning the game's Ruins map into a duo que.

Previously, Ironmace's early access, extraction-based dungeon crawler only supported solo queue with one map (the Goblin Cave) and trios with two maps (the Ruins and the Howling Crypts). Fans had asked for a new duo-only map, but as as of hotfix #8, the Ruins has instead been converted into one.

"As an experiment, we have decided to convert The Ruins map into a duos matchmaking pool, as it was one of the top requested features on the 'Suggestions' board of our website," Ironmace writes in a developer comment accompanying the update's patch notes. "We plan to continue tweaking the settings including the starting playing counts, portal counts, map size, and dark swarm timings based on your feedback."
