Greetings, Defenders! Whether you're a veteran of the Void or a new recruit ready to save the world, we can't wait to pull back the curtain and share what's happening with the beloved monster-hunting looter shooter, Deadtime Defenders!
Back in 2020, the game's previous studio made some tough decisions to halt development, and our squad of intrepid soldiers were left for dead behind enemy lines. However, in early 2024, the newly formed Arcane Embers studio (that's us!) put a plan in place to rescue the Defenders and bring them back home ... your home!
That's right, Deadtime Defenders is back!
What does this mean?
As fellow fans of the game, we played countless hours and pored over user reviews to figure out what was working and what could use some TLC. So over the coming weeks, you'll see a stream of patch updates that contain gameplay improvements, quality-of-life fixes, and bug fixes. We'll also be releasing an update that makes the game run great on Steam Deck so you can defend anytime, anywhere.
Story Mode - Coming Soon
We've begun working on a Story Mode that provides narrative driven ways to experience the game while blasting monsters in their ugly monster faces. We'll be introducing some new modes and gameplay mechanics so you'll be able to call down the thunder with support from AI teammates, rescue civilians, and repair field equipment vital to the mission on your new and improved journey to the Void.
