Dungeon Defenders: Awakened Now in Steam Early Access

Dungeon Defenders: Awakened isn’t just right around the corner, it’s right here. Well, in Early Access form.

The third main entry to the action tower defense Dungeon Defenders series is entering its Early Access period on Steam today, swinging onto the platform with patch 0.9 (the game isn’t too far off from its full release state).

Though it’s not complete just yet, Dungeon Defenders: Awakened is hitting Steam with 12 maps and four playable characters, giving players a host of scenarios to build and fight on via its multiple modes.

The game will receive additional characters after its full release in Q2 2020, along with a release on the Nintendo Switch. Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners will have to wait until later this year to get in on the action.

You don’t have to wait for full release to get in on the multiplayer, either. The fun in Dungeon Defenders has always been getting a group of friends together and getting new and exciting loot, and players will be able to do just that right out the gate.
