Chromatic Games popular Tower Defense RPG, Dungeon Defenders, is looking to get a re-release for the Nintendo Switch.

Now titled Dungeon Defenders: Awakened, the game is an updated version of Dungeon Defenders, first released in 2011. The game is a tower defense game mixed with action RPG elements, where players play as one of four classes to defend the heart of their dungeons from incoming hordes of enemies. The game is meant to be a cooperative experience, where the only way for players to survive is to work together and formulate a strategic defense against the oncoming hordes.

The games new story will combine the sequel, Dungeon Defenders 2, with the original game, as the heroes travel back in time to take on to face a time-altering menace who could "reshape the past, present, and future of Dungeon Defenders."
