New DLC Mission: Valentine Citadel
The [i]Magus Citadel[/i] has received a Valentine makeover in advance of the holiday. The only issue? This seems to have incited the rage of the local pirate population! Maybe they believe the seaside is no place for a sappy, love-filled celebration, or perhaps it's because they've nary received even a rose from their salty significant others. Either way, all this commotion has piqued the interest of [i]Mega Cupid[/i]!
Defenders victorious in quelling this lovesick assault will be rewarded with the new [b]Bouncing Heart Staff[/b] and [b]FIsh Sword[/b], [b]Bachelor[/b] and [b]Bachelorette Seahorse[/b] pets, and [b]Wooden Hermit[/b] and [b]Lover[/b] (Jester) outfits!
Also granted upon map completion are the [b]Elegant Pirate Hat[/b], [b]Elegant Eyepatch[/b] and [b]Elegant Pirate Bracers[/b]. Wearing all three of these armor pieces will grant a cosmetic set bonus; floating hearts will emanate from the player while standing still, and floating pirate skulls will surround the player while moving!
Some may consider the union of traditional Valentine's themes and seafaring thieves strange, but we'd argue pirates are long overdue the opportunity to ask their salty sweethearts to go plunderin' with them. Either way, the [i]Dungeon Defenders - Valentine Citadel[/i] DLC is available now, and you can take advantage of a [i]10% launch discount[/i] until [b]February 13th[/b]!

New Community Mission: The Love Machine
Hordes of enemies—including some of Etheria's most heartless antagonists—are trying to destroy the Love Machine! Are you brave enough to defend against them, and keep the apparatus beating?
After Defenders have reached wave 11, every 2 additional waves survived will reward players with a [b]Lover Snake[/b] pet, [b]Cat Ears[/b], and one of the following weapons at random; the [b]Minigun[/b], [b]Love Blaster[/b], or [b]Cane of Doomed Relationships[/b].
