Made with Unreal Engine 4, Dungeon Defenders: Awakened returns players to the world of Etheria, hot on the trail of the evil Harbinger. Defend the castle against the invading hordes as you revisit familiar locations with terrible new enemies and shocking surprises. Awakened features gorgeous graphics, polished controls, clean menus and a refined core Dungeon Defenders gameplay experience.

Travel back in time 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.

To support the development of Dungeon Defenders: Awakened, Chromatic Games has launched a Kickstarter campaign (looking for $250,000) allowing fans to get involved and show their support with exclusive content and early access only available to backers.

Augi Lye, one of the original co-founders of Trendy Entertainment, is now the CEO of Chromatic Games. Shortly after becoming CEO, Mr. Lye and Colin Fisher, a key Dungeon Defenders developer and new Creative Director, established a new vision for the studio and a reinvigoration of their popular Dungeon Defenders franchise.  As part of their new vision, Colin Fisher says: “I want to refocus the franchise on maintaining a player-first mentality and delivering games that we know our audience wants.”
