Defender’s Quest 2: Mists of Ruin is in the works for Nintendo Switch, publisher Armor Games Studios and developer Level Up Labs announced today. It’ll come to Nintendo’s console sometime after the PC version, which is slated for January 30.

Defender’s Quest 2: Mists of Ruin is sequel to the classic tower defense game. The previous title made it to Nintendo Switch in

Here’s a rundown of the sequel:

Travel to the once-thriving oasis of The Shining Lands, now plagued with a rising toxic liquid dubbed “Mirk,” threatening the wellbeing of citizens and visitors. Explore vibrant, grimy locales riddled with treacherous terrain and ghoulish monsters rising from the Mirk’s depths as both The Hunters, a hardened mercenary group, and The Stars, an eccentric crew of pirates.

Engage in vibrant tower defense battles using The Hunters, lead by the spear-wielding Evni Hunt, and the Stars with their fearless captain Ketter Star. Unlock and build relationships with crew members across both groups, each with abilities to master, backstories to unravel, and upgrades to unlock.

In a main campaign spanning six to ten hours of gameplay, complete levels rewarding long-term strategy and RPG tactics. Wield laser cannons, carving spears, and hammers to take down pesky Pinchbugs among other foes. Overcome each obstacle with accessibility options ranging from multiple difficulty settings to sped-up or slowed-down dialogue and control mapping.

Lars Doucet of Level Up Labs said today: “Ever since the Defender’s Quest series began 12 years ago, we’ve always had visions of expanding its world. We hope fans of the first Defender’s Quest and tower defense veterans alike will prevail through the Mirk and all the challenges awaiting them in The Shining Lands.”
