| Countess in Crimson: The Black Dawn DLC Now Available! | 2025-05-28 | We are happy to announce that the DLC for Countess in Crimson is finally finished and available for you all to enjoy! This DLC adds three additional love interests with exciting storylines that run parallel to the game's main story. In the near future, the DLC will also feature new unlockable content for characters from the base game. Since this content isn't an integral part of new storylines featured in the DLC, we decided it didn't justify significantly delaying the DLC and will be added in two batches, within 2-3 months after the DLC release. We ask all you fans of our original cast of character can have a little more patience ;-). We hop |
| Countess in Crimson: The Black Dawn DLC Development Update | 2025-03-03 | Hello everyone. It's been a while since we posted any news about the upcoming DLC, so let's have a quick recap of where we're at right now. The DLC is already fully playable, but there is still a lot of visual assets missing (animations, stills, etc.). Because of this, we unfortunately won't be able to meet the initial Q1 2025 release deadline. The closest release estimate right now is early / mid May 2025. In the meantime, here are some images to sweeten the wait: To wishlist the DLC, head over to its Steam page. Digital Seductions Team |

In this post I'd like to update you on what's been going on with us since the release on Countess in Crimson 1.0 and what is planned for the future. The reason why we've been silent for the first half of this year is mainly because I had to take several months off to deal with some personal stuff (don't worry, nothing bad, just very time consuming). We are still essentially a two-man team and not having one of us available means development was all but halted for that time.
