Evaluation

Dark Hours launched into version 1.0 on October 23, 2025, following an Early Access period. Since then, Piece of Cake Studios has maintained a high level of post-launch activity. The game has received a steady stream of feature patches and bug fixes — now past patch #89 as of June 24, 2026. Major milestones since 1.0 include a substantial major update on March 20, 2026 (featuring performance overhauls, monster improvements, and the return of the Easter Eggs seasonal event) and a full console launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on April 22, 2026, complete with crossplay support from day one. The developer also ran a Summer Break seasonal event from June 20 to July 20, 2026, and on July 19, 2026, posted a developer update explicitly stating the team is "back to work on upcoming updates and future events." This is the most recent communication as of today (August 19, 2026) and directly confirms ongoing development. No announcement has been made about concluding support or winding down content updates.

About this game

You and your crew were ready for the perfect heist, until something went terribly wrong. Right after breaking in, the power cuts out and you realize something isn’t right. You’re trapped inside the building you came to rob… and you’re not alone. A monster has taken over the place and you’re its next prey. Will you manage to escape? Will you survive this apocalyptic night?
