Draeno has a talk with Producer Ryan Ebenger from Trion Worlds’ Defiance. Together they discuss the challenges of creating a science fiction game that ties directly into a TV show, how Defiance plays unlike other third person games, and how it will try to separate from the show after it airs. Looks for Defiance to launch in April 2012, just a short time before the television show on the Syfy Channel.
After 8 years of Defiance and 3 years of Defiance 2050, both titles are being sunsetted on April 29, 2021.
Me too. I remember putting a lot of hours into it before it went free to play. After, it went f2p, I didn't play it near as much, but it makes me nostalgic.
I liked the show and picked up a sealed collectors edition of the 360 game for $5 at a thrift store a couple years ago.
It had a good run honestly, way better than it had any business being, especially for it to be part of a tv series
gamigo confirmed that it has acquired major assets from Trion Worlds, known for online and console MMO games such as Rift, Defiance, Trove and ArcheAge.
The gaming industry, like any industry really, is a cruel mistress. We witness this cold reality yet again when we see the studio Trion Worlds, which was behind Rift, Trove and Archeage, having to cut over 150 workers today.
