Plenty of new tower defense releases these days. Developer Hero Interactive revealed that Pirate Defense is in the last stage of development and should be out soon. Fans of the genre have plenty to do the coming weeks as today the new Gemcraft was launched as well.

On their blog, Hero Interactive announced that their ‘latest game, Pirate Defense, is in the final stages of development right now. In fact, the game will be coming out very soon. Of course, there’s still no exact release date but it seems like we can expect it any time. Start thinking of some cool trigger/trap combinations cause the more complicated they are the more points (gold) you get!’ For more details and footage of the game read our earlier reports on Pirate Defense.

Hopefully they’ll bring new gameplay elements to the tower defense genre with this game. We’ll have to wait and play the game to find out how their trigger/trap mechanics will turn out, but it sounds very exciting.
