Defiance Dev. Diary and Details

Trion Worlds are currently hard at work on their upcoming MMO-shooter Defiance.

In a world where humans and aliens co-exist on a planet ravaged by years of conflict, gamers will encounter numerous enemies and indulge in combat from a 3rd-person point of view. Players will be treated with the combination of the Syfy Channels TV show that portrays the many dramatic events featured in the stories plot and the scale and customisation of an MMO.
