Dungeon Defenders: Going Rogue Announced As Roguelike Spinoff
Chromatic Games, the developers behind series reboot Dungeon Defenders: Awakened, has just announced a new roguelike spinoff titled Dungeon Defenders: Going Rogue. Originally known as Trendy Entertainment Inc. before its rebranding and restructuring in 2019, Chromatic Games is known for its tower defense/hack-and-slash RPG hybrid series Dungeon Defenders. The first game in the series was released back in 2010, where it has since gained a passionate cult following much like other great indie RPGs and spawned several follow-ups for a multitude of platforms, including an official fan-made redux of the original game for PC players.

In the year 2019, a new game titled Dungeon Defenders: Awakened was announced and a Kickstarter campaign began to fund the project, promising a modern adaptation of the original title under a reworked development studio. In the following year, the successfully funded entry was released onto Steam, with updates for both the new title and Dungeon Defenders 2 still being released to this day.
