Red Hook Studios rolled out the 1.07 patch for Darkest Dungeon on PS4 and PS Vita yesterday, which was the Radiant Mode update that previously released on PC. 

The patch adds the titular Radiant mode, reworks New Game + into Stygian Mode, and fixes many bugs. You can read the full patch notes below:

RADIANT MODE:

  • Never Again changed: heroes are now allowed to return to the Darkest Dungeon. However, they will undergo significant stress upon doing so, and are more likely to become afflicted instead of virtuous when in the Darkest Dungeon.
  • More Power Leveling flexibility: Heroes of up to Level 4 may enter Novice dungeons. Any hero may enter a Veteran or Champion dungeon.
  • Stage Coach can now be upgraded to allow the appearance of new recruits starting at up to Level 4. Increased chance of upgraded recruits appearing. Reduced cost of Upgraded Recruits upgrades.
  • Accelerated hero XP progression
  • Hero upgrade and treatment cost scaling by level reduced
  • Returned provisions now give slightly more money back
  • Tweaks to Stage Coach:
    • Added another upgrade tier to Experienced Recruits (Lvl 4 Characters will now appear)
    • Changed Experienced Recruit requirements. (Lvl1 now requires Lvl 1 Blacksmith and Guild)
    • New Stage Coach population option to use a Deck based system. (This can be used onall modes). New Stagecoach generation method that gives a more even long-term distribution and also favors healers more, since they are the backbone of most parties. This can be toggled off in the Options menu if you wish to still ride the bittersweet wave of total RNG.
  • Higher Light conditions confer slightly more to party DEF bonuses.
  • Accelerated Region Progression
  • Town Events trigger more frequently to compensate for shorter playtime

STYGIAN MODE:

  • Renamed NG+ to Stygian
  • Stygian can now be selected when starting a new campaign, instead of requiring completion of Darkest mode first.
  • More stress, higher darkness penalties, more light loss per step, higher trap diff, enemy HP bump from 15% (prev) to 20%, slightly higher monster crits...overall slightly more deadly
  • Time limit reduced to 86 weeks and hero death limit dropped to 12
  • You can now continue playing after the time limit on your Stygian mode game after successfully completing the game
