Dungeon Defenders: Awakened, the epic return of Chromatic Games’ multimillion-selling co-op tower defense action RPG series, has charged into battle on Nintendo Switch. Arriving alongside the series’ Nintendo debut is the free update, The Lycan’s Keep, out simultaneously across PC and Xbox systems; the update will be available soon after launch on Nintendo Switch.
As darkness descends on Etheria once again, familiar heroes return to protect the Eternia crystals. Heed the call and suit up as seven dynamic heroes — including the Warden and Rogue, introduced with The Lycan’s Keep. Each Hero possesses fresh playstyles and character-specific abilities to allow for various builds and strategies as they topple orcs, goblins, and more.
Progress through a multi-arc campaign with beautiful new stages and reimagined versions of series favorites. Begin each map in the Build Phase, where Heroes place defensive blockades and offensive towers in critical locations before entering the Combat Phase. Once the melee begins, leap into the fray where action-RPG combat helps thin the ranks and secure victory.
Dungeon Defenders: Awakened comes complete with six game modes and six difficulty options. Tackle the campaign alone, with friends in online co-op, or dive right into alternate game types like Pure Strategy Mode, a tower defense-only variant perfect for tactical-minded heroes, and Survival Mode with its seemingly endless waves of enemies.
Earn new gear, weapons, accessories, pets, and more by taking down enemies and bosses in the campaign. Equip powerful upgrades to ready yourself for the challenges offered in Hardcore mode or Rifted maps, remixed battlegrounds where powerful Rifted foes appear and can drop high-tier loot. Turn hard-earned equipment into unique outfits for each Hero with the Transmog system, allowing for custom characters that let each Defender’s personality shine.
Dungeon Defenders: Awakened is now available on Nintendo Switch for $29.99. The Lycan’s Keep update has also been launched on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S for free to all base game owners. A PlayStation 4 version is planned for later this year with PlayStation 5 support.
