E3 2012: First Look: Defiance

Published On June 7, 2012 | By Michael Urban | Uncategorized

You may have heard of a new series coming to the Syfy channel called Defiance, and this game is a direct tie in with the upcoming show. To put it simply, Defiance is a television series, a video game, and an MMO all in one.

The game  is set 50 years in the future after an alien invasion. The aliens have changed the molecular levels of living things on earth which has spawned a whole breed of new and weird looking plants and animals. The TV series takes place in St. Louis, while the game is set in San Francisco. Whatever world event happens in the television show that week could happen in the game as well. It’s a unique experience for an MMO, and adds a greater depth to a TV/game tie in.

To give you a better understand about what Defiance is all about, here is a brief video courtesy of Trion Worlds:

Defiance will be available for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 in April 2013.
