- New DDE Update - 13 July 2015
Patch Notes The bootstrapper has been removed so the game will automatically log-in when you launch it from Steam and will no longer re-download files on startup. The overlay has been removed and all functionality associated with it has been either built into the game or replicated using Steam services. When you download the update you will need to transfer any local save files you have into a new directory. Here’s how to do that: Go to “Steam\steamapps\common\DunDefEternity\BINARIES\WIN32\” and find the file called “DunDefHeroes74.dun.tag_0” Drag that file over to “Steam\steamapps\common\DungeonDefendersEternity\BINARIES\WIN32\” Then, delete the entire DunDefEternity directory to save yourself some 6GBs of hard drive space.
- An Update on DDE - 6 May 2015
Greetings Defenders, Thank you for your support through the release of Dungeon Defenders Eternity. It’s been a humbling experience, one that has highlighted that we need to do better as a studio. The lessons we’ve learned, from greenlighting projects to managing external partners, have been invaluable. As such, we have discontinued our relationship with Nom Nom Games. At Trendy, we will be producing one more patch, which will remove the playverse login and overlay. (The monster is dead!) This patch will not contain any gameplay modifications or the in-progress rebalance. In the future, you will receive your Hall of Triumphs rewards for owning Dungeon Defenders Eternity automatically in Dungeon Defenders II. As a thank you for your continued support, we will be giving owners of Dungeon Defenders Eternity a free code for the Dungeon Defenders Collection later this summer. This will be a g…
- Patch 8.7 Released - 6 April 2015

- Rebalance Public Test Weekend #1 - 30 January 2015
Greetings Defenders, In just a few short hours we will be kicking-off the first public test weekend for the rebalance we have been discussing all month. Starting tonight at 8pm we will be rolling out the rebalance patch. It will stay live until Monday morning at 11:30am when we roll the live client back to the previous version. What this means for you: Heroes, pets, towers, enemies, abilities, and everything else except gear will be conforming to the new design set forth this month in a series of “Let’s talk about” posts on the DDE forums. Due to the method in which gear is stored in code, it will remain in the old balance regime because there will be no good way to revert it once we convert. What this means for you: You could find yourself in possession of some seriously overpowered gear. Given that we know that much of the existing gear could be OP, we are asking you, fine dungeon def…
- Content Creators Earn Over $50M Through Steam Workshop, Can Now Earn Money in More Games - 28 January 2015
When we launched the Workshop late in 2011, we expected that it would grow, but not that it would grow this much, this quickly. So far, the total payments made to individuals for the creation of in-game items sold in Team Fortress 2, Dota 2, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive have passed $57 million. This money was earned by over 1,500 contributors spread out across 75 countries. New Curated Workshops The limitation of paid, revenue-generating Workshops to Valve content has been an unfortunate consequence of the sheer number of challenges required in order to scale to a global audience of creators and players. Today we're happy to announce that after a ton of work, the first curated Workshops for non-Valve games have opened: Dungeon Defenders: Eternity and Chivalry: Medieval Warfare . This is really exciting news and means that more high quality content will be available for the game…
