to when and where it all began: with the four young heroes banding together in their parents' castle — only this time, they face a time-altering menace who could reshape the past, present, and future of
Dungeon Defenders.
With
upgraded visuals,
updated mechanics,
and locations both new and old, this is the
awakening of the franchise we feel it deserves.
(After this, it's onto our dream game,
Dungeon Defenders: Dating Simulator, but one step at a time, folks.)
The Apprentice's Deadly Striker Tower
The world's not quite as the heroes remember it...
As much as we love the first game, though
, Dungeon Defenders released nearly 8 years ago. There’s been a ton of fantastic innovations in game design since then. Combat, movement, user interfaces — we believe we can improve these in this new game experience, so we've asked ourselves:
“
If a new version of Dungeon Defenders released in 202X, what would that look like? How would that feel? How do we modernize the formula while keeping the charm and staying true to the original?
Defenders, how doth we design a dope game for thee?”
Our answer – Dungeon Defenders: Awakened
The new story will take you to unexplored regions of Etheria.
Creating a uniquely nostalgic, charming, and modern experience is our top priority. But how do we get there? With YOUR help, of course! We want you to be involved in the Chromatic development process, and we want to make this game for you, OUR MOST VALIANT DEFENDERS.
