Announcing Dungeons & Lasers: Duskhollow

In the land where the mist never lifts and the moon looms large, a dark castle rises. Welcome to Duskhollow…will you brave the darkness, or be consumed by it?

Exciting news, a new chapter begins in the ever-expanding Deuslair universe!

We are thrilled to announce Dungeons & Lasers: Duskhollow, the 8th expansion of the beloved DnL saga, and perhaps our darkest yet. We’ve heard your voices and requests—based on the survey responses, countless comments on our other campaigns and general community wishes—we’re bringing a gothic theme to life. Duskhollow welcomes all fans of dark fantasy and beyond, as it is going to be a haunting experience perfect for narrative-rich RPG sessions, miniature painting hobbyists, or for our long-term fans and collectors of the series. We’ve got a lot in store for all of you!

Venture Into the Heart of Duskhollow

Duskhollow is a shadowed realm where darkness creeps and danger waits. You will discover modular gothic castles, eerie props, and monstrous miniatures, all compatible with the rest of the Dungeons & Lasers system. But that’s not everything. With this campaign, we wanted to make sure we’re giving you something very special. After weeks of design, trials and errors, testing and quality checking, we’re proud to announce that Duskhollow’s castle components will have fully modular towers with rounded corners! It not only looks great on the table, but also adds a new layer of variety, depth and creativity to your builds. 

It wouldn’t be an Archon Studio release without our signature innovation, so yes, PrismaCast™ is coming to Duskhollow! As you might have guessed, this expansion continues our commitment to high-quality pre-painted products, expanding our PrismaCast™ line even further. Think modular castles, terrains, various themes and dedicated add-ons, we’re working every day to expand the line and ease the burden of having to paint every single piece of your terrain. For those of you who love painting—rest assured, as always, everything we release in PrismaCast™ will also be available unpainted. 

Yet another thing you can expect from Duskhollow is even more variety. We’re working on a whole range of thematic rooms with high and low walls, theme-accurate stretch goals, and miniatures that will invoke that creepy, haunting and fascinating feeling present in all dark fantasy series. 

And be careful… some of them bite!
 

Duskhollow - What can you expect:

- Modular castles with rounded towers
- High and low themed rooms
- Support for all current DnL sets
- Unpainted and Prisma Cast™ pre-painted options
- 5E compatibility and a brand new Deuslair region
- Gothic, dark-fantasy stretch goals, exclusive gifts, narrative twists, and more...

In short: whether you're a dungeon master, miniature painter, or dark fantasy enthusiast—Duskhollow will have something for you.

Follower Gift: Lunatic Baba Yaga

To set the tone of the campaign, and to showcase the fantastic work our artists are providing for this project, we’re kicking off the Gamefound campaign by offering a free gift to all of its followers! Follow our campaign and claim Lunatic Baba Yaga—a 50mm exclusive miniature available only to backers who follow the pre-campaign, obtainable once per backer with your first pledge. She’s our cackling hermit of the shadows, floating on her skull throne and ready to cast spells on any innocent passerbys.
If you don’t like the skull base she’s menacingly floating on—it’s completely optional and you can just detach it as you please.

Messages from the Workshop

We asked the talented minds behind Duskhollow what makes this project stand out. From bold new features to the eerie atmosphere visible in every detail, here’s what our team had to say about the making of our new expansion, and what you can expect from it.
 

Tomasz Niespodziany – Product Lead

“It will definitely be something of a revolution—we've designed fully functional, circular walls for building towers that connect to existing walls and floors. We're preparing a whole range of new, themed rooms with high and low walls. We're further refining the tech so that the customers are satisfied with the quality of the products in DnL8, and the entire Duskhollow line will be shrouded in a touch of mystery and darkness.”
 

Aleksander Kubiak – Narrative Designer

“Duskhollow. A place where beings just beyond the reach of light meet our world. Hollow creatures, starved for something, anything to fill the void inside them... Humans have a strange relationship with fear. We shelter ourselves to avoid it, yet then we crave it. We desire that electrifying chill that spreads through every fiber of our bodies. That’s why Dark Fantasy is such a beloved genre—where mysteries and horrors beyond human understanding collide with the raw beauty and brutality of human nature. Fear, held on a chain. As I write Duskhollow, I remind myself of these contradictions woven into our very nature.”
 

Jarek Ewertowski – CEO

"At Archon Studio, every Dungeons & Lasers campaign pushes boundaries, and we truly love this product line and the community around it. Duskhollow might just be our most ambitious yet. We’re bringing you a setting with unmatched versatility, gothic soul, and tabletop depth. We can’t wait to show you what’s next."

What Lies Ahead?

The Duskhollow announcement is only the beginning. While the full campaign launches in early 2026, we’ve got plenty of updates coming your way long before then. Expect regular reveals, behind-the-scenes peeks, and deep dives into the design process as we continue shaping this expansion. We’ll be sharing more stretch goals, exclusive content, and maybe even a few surprises along the way—so if you haven’t already, make sure to follow the campaign. The gates of Duskhollow are creaking open… and the real journey is just getting started.
