Dungeons 4 Introduces User-Generated Content to Console
Dungeons 4 Editor leaves Beta today with Update 1.5, allowing console players to enjoy community-created maps for the first time
With Update 1.5. Creators on PC can use the editor to create content for players on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 to download and play!
Rejoice! The Ultimate Evil has decreed that all players shall have access to enjoy player-created content. From today, those who wish to unearth these player-generated-gems need only venture to the Mod.io section from the main menu, select from the vast array of maps, and prepare to destroy their foes in new and exciting ways.
Additionally, Update 1.5 also includes Possession Mode, allowing the Micromanaging Evil to slip into the minds of its minions to ensure they are making the best Evil use of their time.

The editor allows aspiring developers of evil access to the same tools used by Realmforge Studios when building levels, including creating unique objectives, unique spawn conditions for units, and even adding custom dialogue. The only limit to the possibilities is how diabolical you are willing to be in pursuit of true evil!

Possess Snots!
