Downloadable Content

Downloadable Content (DLC) is one way (along with patches) that Trendy Entertainment expands the world of Dungeon Defenders. Content may include new maps, heroes, familiars, weapons, or costumes. Most content must be purchased, though some has been released for free. While patches contain bug fixes and balances necessary to play the original game, downloadable content is not required and may be viewed as optional.

Quest for the Lost Eternia Shards

Starting from 15th December 2011 there will be a series of 4 DLCs for PC called Quest for the Lost Eternia Shards. All 4 combined will provide almost as much new content as the release version of the original game itself did provide. This content will be released for consoles at a later date.

Steam Items

Advanced Technology and Elite Gear Pack's are two DLCs provided when the game is purchased from Steam. It gives the player the Portal Gun as well as 4 Team Fortress 2 familiars.

Consoles

In regards to downloadable content being delivered to the consoles, this is the official stance taken by Trendy Entertainment.

Console players... We need to talk. It's about the DLC -- the holiday DLC, the new heroes -- all of them except the Lost Eternia Shards. Brace yourself.

At this moment, there are no plans to bring them to consoles.
