From the Press Release
Trendy Entertainment today announced the expansion of the “Defense Council,” an advisory board that allows players with an interest in the development of Dungeon Defenders II to provide early, focused feedback directly to the development team. A limited number of Council seats have been made available and are now on sale, on a first-come first-serve basis. New members to the Defense Council will have exclusive access to play the pre-alpha build of Dungeon Defenders II, and will receive regular patch updates along with links to build notes so they can see how things are constantly evolving thanks to their help. New Defense Council members will also receive a digital package containing a number of exclusive one-time items and benefits, including:
• A Steam Code for the pre-alpha build of Dungeon Defenders II
• Access to the exclusive Defense Council forums on the new Dungeon Defenders community site, allowing Councilors to communicate directly with Trendy about the game and its direction
• Four exclusive Hero Embellishments
• An exclusive Tavern Item – a Council Demon Lord Trophy
• The player’s name in the game’s credits
In addition, players that upgrade to the Co-Op Pack will also receive a Dungeon Defenders II Friend Code, plus two copies of both the Dungeon Defenders Collection and Dungeon Defenders Eternity, and an extra exclusive goodie.

Please note: The Council’s expansion is not the Early Access launch of Dungeon Defenders II. Instead, it is a limited opportunity for players to help craft and influence the development of the game before it’s ready for its full Early Access launch. The Defense Council is only available for PC. For much more information, including what else players can expect if they join the Council at this early stage, head over to https://www.dungeondefenders.com/2/store.
In Dungeon Defenders II, the land of Etheria has been invaded by the Old Ones and players must rally, alone or with friends, against the invasion. The game features brand new combat and defense placement systems that synchronize the roleplaying, action, and tower defense elements of the franchise for even more strategic gameplay. New defense and ability interactions make for exciting, emergent gameplay and new environmental traps increase variety and strategic planning throughout each level in the game.
Dungeon Defenders II is currently in development for PC, Mac, and Linux as a free-to-play title. For updates, visit www.dungeondefenders.com.
