Kalypso has announced the release of a new DLC pack for their hit stealth action title DARK, named Cult of the Dead and available for download starting December 5.

Players are once again invited to step into the world of Eric Bane. After escaping the M17 vampire hunters, the protagonist now finds out about the existence of a mysterious “Book of the Dead,” an artifact which grants its owner power over death and its creatures.

Representing both an immediate threat to all things living and dead alike, and also an opportunity for Eric to learn more about his kind, a quest will begin, one which will throw him into the face of danger once again.

Not only will players have to escape the regrouped M17, who are back with a vengeance, but they will also have to face off against a new enemy, the mighty Necromancers, in a new test of their vampiric skills.

Apart from the new mission to find the Book of the Dead, other notable features of the DLC are a new boss, the Cultist, a new deadly opponent, the sniper, and five new challenge mode maps.

Cult of the Dead is available for both PC and Xbox 360 at a retail price of $6 / €5.
