The original Dungeon Defenders was launched in 2011 and went on to be a huge indie game success in a time when indie games were just beginning to hit their stride. The game had a sequel in 2017 that changed the formula and attempted a free to play model, but wasn't met with the same critical acclaim or success. Now Dungeon Defenders: Awakened is throwing its helmet into the ring, bringing the series back and returning to the originals roots.

Dungeon Defenders II was out back in 2017 and received mixed reviews. The game's original formula had changed slightly and not everyone was on board. But the series is back and reviews of the early access game have pointed out it's more like the original than ever. Dungeon Defenders Awakened is slated to bring together four heroes as they protect their dungeons crystal from wave after wave of baddie.

This past July, Trendy Entertainment dropped some new DLC ("Protean Shift") for their free-to-play tower-defense/third-person action title, Dungeon Defenders II. There have been a couple of updates since then - notably the one last month that increased the rewards received when playing with additional players - and last week, there was a hotfix that refined that system even further. Now, playing with additional players not only gets you more experience, but guaranteed better gear.

The latest addition to Dungeon Defenders II is now available across Xbox One, PS4 and PC for everyone’s favorite price of free. The Protean Shift Expansion adds new weapons, the ability to keep weapons longer thanks to expanded upgrade tiers, the ability to further customize your gear with over 120 new mods, and two new game modes: Adventures and Expeditions.

As if Dungeon Defenders 2 wasn’t wonderful enough in its current form, costing $0.00 and brimming with content, the developers at Trendy Entertainment have announced the first of many updates that will bring even more content to an already full game. Meaning that for the still low price of FREE you can play a full game and get your update on in a few short weeks.

The successful Dungeon Defenders franchise is moving its latest installment, Dungeon Defenders 2 to Xbox one this summer, as well as seeing the full launch on PlayStation 4 and PC on the same day. The game will launch for the reasonably low price of $0.00; you read that right, the game will be completely free-to-play.

I'm not sure if this is quite like the moment when someone mixed chocolate and peanut butter, but Re-Logic, the team behind Terraria, and Trendy Entertainment, creators of Dungeon Defenders II, have cross-pollinated their franchises. A Terraria themed hero, the Dryad, has been added to the Defenders roster, while a new Defenders-themed event has found its way into Terraria.

In case you missed the news a few months back, Dungeon Defenders II is out, in alpha (Early Access), free to play for all. That's good news right there, but the continuing good news is that developer Trendy Entertainment has rolled out a substantial update. Called The Harbinger Awakens, it's got a new boss, more loot, and according to the official notes, more fun!

When you can't update your old game anymore, just get the players to do it! While Trendy Entertainment works on the sequel, players expressed an interest in keeping Dungeon Defenders alive and ticking. So, with the developer's blessing, the first Community Development Team patch was released, and it's more than just "hey this'd be cool" stuff, too!

Trendy Entertainment, developer of Dungeon Defenders II, gazed upon the hordes of malnourished tower defense enthusiasts and found them weak, malnourished, and craving a new title to feast upon.  "But, they lack the necessary funds", their miserly advisers told them, "they cannot afford to even dream of our forthcoming title."  Nevertheless, the developers saw the masses' desperation, and their morality rang true.  "Give the people what they need", they said, "and make it free, make it all free."

This must be something of a first for the PlayStation 4. Dungeon Defenders II, the tower-defense action title from Trendy Entertainment, will be available in a pre-alpha state next week for all those interested in trying it out. It will cost you, though.
