Aliens Are Invading Again, Protect Your Power Cores

On July 10, 2012 Hidden Path Entertainment launched its Kickstarter Campaign to fund new content for its tower defense game, Defense Grid – The Awakening, and potentially a sequel for the loved title. Thanks to over 6,200 backers Hidden Path was able to release the expansion pack Defense Grid: Containment this past January.

Hidden Path Entertainment has been listening to the community and will continue to do so throughout the development process making sure players have a voice during the making of the game. Be sure to sign up on the forums if you haven’t done so already. On the forums gamers will be given the latest DG2 news, have the opportunity to ask questions of the development team, and provide feedback about the game.

Gamers will battle to protect their power cores on multiple locations throughout DG2. You’ll have new and familiar towers at your disposal as you beat back both new and established threats. In addition to both cooperative and competitive multiplayer game modes Defense Grid 2 will also support user created content..

”505 Games has partnered with us at Hidden Path and is providing a great opportunity for next-generation console players to experience our vision of the definitive tower defense experience. We’re so excited to work on a game we love and bring it to additional platforms with such a like-minded publishing partner,” said Jeff Pobst, project lead for DG2. 

“Our goal at 505 is to be a publishing partner that lets studios retain their creative independence and that is exactly how we intend to partner with Hidden Path in order to bring DG2 to market,” said Ian Howe, president, 505 Games. “Hidden Path is the perfect partner, they are experienced industry veterans developing a top-quality tower defense game that we both cannot wait to get into gamers’ hands.”
