Hidden Path Entertainment has unexpectedly released a new expansion for Defense Grid 2 on Steam, bringing an end to an eight-year period of minimal updates for the tower defense title. The expansion, titled Aftermath, launched alongside a series of recent patches and a newly available soundtrack.
The surprise release has sparked discussions regarding the future of the franchise. While Aftermath offers fresh content for Steam users, it was previously available on the Oculus Rift and Nintendo Switch platforms. Its arrival on PC suggests a renewed effort by the developers to support the title.
This activity serves as a positive indicator for the studio's status. Hidden Path Entertainment had recently faced setbacks, including the cancellation of a project with Wizards of the Coast and the loss of their contract for developing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The sudden support for Defense Grid 2 has led fans to speculate that the studio may be gearing up for a potential third installment in the series.
Players can currently purchase the expansion and the official soundtrack on Steam.
