Defiance

Senior Producer Rob Hill takes Bill Murphy on a tour through some of the new game modes in the upcoming Defiance DLC; Enter the Castithan, the siege mode, new cars, as well as explaining how the show and the game will further integrate, and how players can make a Castithan without erasing their progress.

Trion Worlds has released a new video to introduce Defiance players to the latest in-game event. A mysterious plague-like disease has made its way to San Francisco and it is up to players to stop it before it reaches critical mass. The event is mirrored in the Syfy television show of the same name.

Defiance players have a new in-game task to complete with the arrival of a deadly new virus. Players are tasked with one new pursuit and three data recorders to boost their EGO ratings.

Have yet to try out Trion Worlds' Defiance? If not, this weekend is your chance as the game will be free to download and play via Steam. The weekend runs from May 23-26 and then follow up on May 27 by watching all six of the TV show's first episodes back to back on Syfy.

IGN is reporting that Trion employees have been laid off primarily from the Defiance San Diego team.

If you've been watching the Syfy show "Defiance", you are aware that Rynn has escaped. For now, she will not be seen on the show. However, players of Trion Worlds' Defiance will be able to defeat the Hellbug swarm in an effort to return Rynn to the show. Developers are calling this a true transmedia event.

Defiance developers have promised players five major updates this year alone and are touting the first one that will be incoming shortly. Among performance and gameplay fixes, the team is introducing a new game mode called "sieges" and new TV tie-ins.

Bill Murphy lays down his final thoughts and rating for Defiance from Trion Worlds. After four weeks plus a few days of playing, how does it shake out? Watch on to find out.

Defiance player with a competitive bent will want to head into the game this weekend to take part in the Dodge High Speed Challenge. Players can earn some pretty sweet Paradise Faction Colors from a vendor that will only be available on these special weekends.

Trion Worlds has announced that over one million accounts have been registered for Defiance. Defiance is a collaborative effort between Trion Worlds and the Syfy Channel.

Defiance players will want to head into the game to begin hunting the nefarious Hellbugs infesting the game world. The event will run for the next three weeks with factions asking for help thinning the herds.

The Defiance website has been updated with a pair of developer blogs. The first announces the Outgun contest that will ultimately see the winner's real life likeness appear in a upcoming episode of Defiance. The second details how player feedback is utilized in development of Defiance.

Trion Worlds' Nathan Richardsson has taken to the Defiance site with a new blog detailing how important player feedback is to the development team when it comes to making "serious improvements" in the game. The blog covers XB360 issues, PC issues, cheating/hacking, items disappearing, PS3 issues with the "big patch" and much more.

Trion Worlds is offering players several gifts to compensate for the rough launch of Defiance. Players can redeem gifts by opening the Defiance Store and claiming an exclusive in-game title and four one week boosts.
