Over the past year, we’ve worked under the cover of darkness on a game-changing update — so game-changing we’re compelled to do something special. Something extraordinary. The game is evolving. The name should evolve, too.
We’re excited to introduce the world to Gobu Defenders II!
Become a Goblin Warrior and defeat the evil Heroes standing between you and your rightful claim to the Eternia Crystals. This update introduces five new Goblin Warriors, completely new gameplay, the Commander system, and more.
Become a Goblin Warrior
Despite an average height of 4’10”, the Gobu Legion stands tall. The Legion represents all Goblins within the Old Ones’ Army, but only a select few are called upon to be Goblin Warriors. These brave few are gifted with incredible powers -- which includes the incredible power of dying fast and often!
Play as one of these brave Goblin Warriors in the update:
- Mudgrinder, the Siege Roller Expert
- Steampot, the Mech Engineer
- Screechy, the Expert of Death
- Fastrocket, Death with Wings
- Mr. Bombs, the Demolitions Gobu
We’ll reveal the full powers of our Goblin Warriors in a future news update.
Begin the Gobu Assault
As a Goblin Warrior, it’s your job to lead the charge on the battlefields of war. Gone are the days of playing as those pathetic humans. They’re the enemy now! Beyond your incredible power of dying, your biggest strength is the size of the Gobu Legion. Your best tactic is to run in a straight line directly at their defenses. Don’t dodge. Don’t jump. Just run straight ahead until you overwhelm their defenses with your claws, your jaws and gallons of your goblin blood. And when their defenses are down, kill the Heroes, destroy the Eternia Crystals and then...the thing happens. You know, the thing. The crystal blows up, the world gets dark, and it has something to do with the Old Ones. There’s totally a strong lore basis for it. And it’s up to you to make that happen, gobu!
Become the Commander
The Gobu Legion is vast, but they need a leader. Someone cunning. Bloodthirsty. Someone willing to sacrifice as many gobu as it takes to win. They need a Commander. And they need You.
Every three months, a new Commander is selected by the community. The Commander is the ultimate authority over the Gobu Legion. Commanders decide where to attack, what resources to gather and what daily objectives to complete. As the Gobu Legion completes these orders, new bonus reward options are unlocked, and it’s up to the Commander to choose which rewards to give the Legion. Commanders also get a unique, full-size Betsy mount to display their awe-inspiring power to other players. Our first community Commander is none other than Dreamanime, whose dedication to the Gobu Legion is second-to-none.
We’re very excited about this next step. If you want to talk about the next evolution of our game, Kaoelol has set up the Gobu Defenders II subreddit and the Gobu Defenders II Discord!
We hope you enjoy the update!
