Now that EV2 is here, our team is working on the next big changes to the game. Over the coming weeks, expect to learn more about our new Server Browser, new Incursions, new Weapons, a new Enemy, major balance changes to the four original heroes, and our next Hero, the Gun Witch.

We can’t wait to share more details. Together, we’re making Dungeon Defenders II better.

Love,
The Trendy Team

    • Accent colors changed based on the canister you have equipped!

  • New Summary Screen

    • Updated the Summary Screen to our new UI format.
