Dungeon Defenders: Awakened Now Available for Xbox Platforms

Dungeon Defenders: Awakened Now Available for Xbox Platforms

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – 18 March 2021 – Dungeon Defenders: Awakened, the epic return of Chromatic Games’ multimillion-selling co-op tower defense action RPG series, makes its console debut on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. 

Gear up and travel to Etheria to defend the Eternia Crystals using five heroes with unique playstyles. Fight across breathtaking renditions of fan-favorite battlefields from previous Dungeon Defenders entries and new awe-inspiring locales that usher in the next generation of the series’ acclaimed gameplay.

March through the Campaign Mode to experience a time-traveling adventure with far-reaching consequences spread across multiple acts and punctuated by massive boss battles. Prepare to face the forces of darkness by building defensive blockades, spell-slinging towers, and devious traps to push back against waves of foes. Then leap into the action, cutting through enemies with a variety of powerful attacks, abilities, and supers to turn the tides of battle and earn piles of legendary loot and equipment.

Experience all of Etheria’s trials alone or with up to four players in online co-op. Progress through the Campaign, or test your abilities in various alternative modes, like the building-only Pure Strategy or the punishing Massacre Mode that introduces dangerously tough enemy variants. The Xbox platform launch of Dungeon Defenders: Awakened also brings the Rifted Maps into the mix. Accessible during Campaign and Survival Modes, Rifted Maps lower the amount of enemies Defenders face, instead offering ultra-tough foes that drop all-new specialized equipment as rewards.

With the launch of Dungeon Defenders on the Xbox family of consoles, players will have access to all of the content currently available in the game’s PC version, including the acclaimed Transmog system. Perfect for creating stylish Defenders, the Transmog system lets you fully customize your heroes, allowing you to show off your own style as you adventure through Etheria in an outfit all of their own.

“We are extremely proud to bring Dungeon Defenders: Awakened to Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S today,” said Augi Lye, CEO, Chromatic Games. “With Dungeon Defender: Awakened’s console launch, we hope to invite Defenders old and new to return to Etheria today!”

Dungeon Defenders: Awakened is now available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S for $29.99. The Xbox release features all of the Steam version content, with additional updates containing other quality of life improvements following launch. Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 versions of Dungeon Defenders: Awakened will be available later in 2021.

World of Warships Deploys New Temporary Battle Type ’Big Hunt’ In Brand New Update

World of Warships Deploys New Temporary Battle Type ’Big Hunt’ In Brand New Update

Update 0.10.2 also brings a large-scale makeover to all in-game effects and part two of the Italian Battleships event with new combat mission rewards

Wargaming, developer and publisher of the widely popular, free to play naval combat game World of Warships (WoWS), has today revealed Update 0.10.2 for the game, launching today. The update introduces a new temporary battle type ‘Big Hunt’, updated visual effects and new rewards to be earned in part two of the Italian Battleships event.

The Big Hunt Begins!

The sea monsters are back with a vengeance in a revamped version of the Key Battle game mode which debuted last Halloween. The new battle type pits 16 players against each other and AI-controller monsters as they race to escape through the portal at the centre of the huge Polygon map. With a wide range of modules and consumables on the exclusive event ships, there are lots of build variations for players to experiment with to make an impact.

Players enter each battle solo but can build up a team of their own as the action unfolds, or if entering as part of a Division, they can find each other on the map and unite to coordinate their efforts.

By destroying monsters, other players and a new boss ship ‘Aurora’, players can earn a temporary resource—Battle Points that can be used to reinforce their ship directly in battle and exchange later for rewards in the armoury. 

Visual Enhancements

This new update ushers in a large-scale makeover across all in-game effects — from shell tracers and gun fire, to water splashes, fires on board ships, and all AA effects — they’ve all been enhanced and reworked to accommodate the new lighting system. This comes alongside a huge array of visual effects added for ricochets, citadel hits, incapacitated weapons and consumables. Imagery and assets related to these enhancements can be found here.

Part Two of the Italian Battleships Event

The Early Access rollout of Italian Battleships continues, as players continue to enjoy the tier IV to VI, as well as tier VIII and IX ships  which hit the seas in Early Access with the release of Update 0.10.1. 

Italian Battleship containers earned as combat missions rewards may now drop one of the following Premium ships: VI Leone, VII Duca degli Abruzzi, VIII Roma, or IX Marco Polo, as well as special signals, Free XP, Regia Marina expendable camouflages, days of Warships Premium Account, and Doubloons.

Full developer notes, including details on the above and visual changes, can be found here, and further assets for World of Warships can be found here.

Aluna: Sentinel of the Shards video details bringing comic’s first female Latina superhero to video games

Paula Garces speaks on going from Hollywood actress, to comic book creator, to video game heroine

New York City, USA – March 17th, 2020 – Digitart Interactive has released a new video featurette offering a behind the scenes look at how Aluna: Sentinel of the Shards’ fan favorite heroine came to be. Due early this year on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, Aluna: Sentinel of the Shards stars comic book creator and actress Paula Garces (Harold & Kumar series, On My Block, Clockstoppers, The Shield) as Incan demigod Aluna as she embarks upon a quest to understand the mysterious fate bestowed upon her.

Created by Paula Garces and Antonio Hernandez in response to the underrepresentation of both Latin and female superheroes in the entertainment industry, Aluna went on to become a cult hit and is currently starring in the ongoing comic book saga, The World of Aluna, written by Assassin’s Creed and Batman: Arkham Origins scribes Ryan Galletta, Dooma Wendschuch, and Corey May. Aluna further made a name for herself in video games after becoming a playable character in S2 Games’ popular MOBA Heroes of Newerth, where she was played by Paula Garces herself.

Aluna is more than a game to us, but rather a cultural icon,” said Digiart Interactive founder Antonio Hernandez. “We’re only now starting to see women and people of color starring in superhero series, which is great, but none have focused on the plight of Inca culture. This is our heritage! And what a thrilling heritage it is! Latin culture is vibrant, and beautiful, and exciting, and it’s time we got a chance to share it with the rest of the world!”

Aluna has long been a passion project between Antonio and I,” said Aluna creator and actress Paula Garces. “It’s a role that means a lot to me as Aluna is more than just a ‘female superhero’. She’s strong, and nurturing, and badass, and conflicted. It’s a really juicy role! And the fact that she’s playable means that we all get to share that role together!”

Developed by Digiart Interactive and  N-Fusion Interactive, Aluna: Sentinel of the Shards is a retro throwback to the classic action-RPGS of yore. A rip-roaring romp through Inca lore, Aluna: Sentinel of the Shards features mythological gods, beasts, and tales that formed the backbone of 16th century Colombian culture. Venture from the Sanctuary seaside cliffs through the massive jungles of the New World, all the way to Nagaric’s Temple in the Volcanic Canyons in this pulpy period adventure.

Aluna: Sentinel of the Shards follows the exploits of Aluna, the warrior daughter of a Spanish conquistador and South American nature goddess Pachamama. Raised in early 16th century Spain, Aluna escaped to the New World only to realize it was her true homeland. Aluna: Sentinel of the Shards sets our heroine on a quest through Inca mythology as she strives to restore the amulet her goddess mother entrusted to her… and fulfill her true destiny.
