After a short break in June, we’re back with another issue of MMOCO! In this issue, we’ll be looking at a new area and storyline for Black Desert Online, a delay for New World’s launch, and a month-long event for Defiance and Defiance 2050. Let’s jump in! BDO Adds Papua Crinea Island and Storyline At the end of June,...
Remember Defiance? The 2013 MMO that was released alongside the TV show of the same name, it promised to bring both mediums together with crossover events that would engage players. Now seven years later, at least one version of the game is set to shut down.
Ladies and gentlemen of semi-apocalyptic America, Defiance (by which I mean the TV show that aired on the Syfy Channel), is no more. The "mixed to average" rated television series survived only three brief seasons before getting the cancellation ax by its ruthless corporate overlords. The characters and stories of the show will not fall into the deep, deep abyss of forgotten television just yet, however. Defiance lives on in Defiance (the game), as the newest patch continues the plot from the now cancelled series.
The transmedia SyFy original TV show / video game Defiance is gearing up for its second season, premiering on the network this June. Unfortunately, despite being a "transmedia experience," we can't command the real-world actors to do what we want in the show. Or in real life. Have you ever tried to direct a flesh and blood human being with a gamepad? It's hard.
Humble Bundle has put together a bundle of games and other goodies, and, as usual, is letting you pay what you want. A portion of your sale goes directly to Extra Life, a charity Co-Optimus has actively participated in for the past two years. Extra Life is a 24 gaming marathon that raises money for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, who care for sick kids and premies.
Defiance, the free-to-play MMO that shares a world with the same-named TV show, has released another content update. Launched yesterday, Silicon Valley adds a new area, new missions, more character slots, and new itemization options. And all for free, of course.
Trion Worlds have announced the MMO shooter, Defiance, is abandoning the one-time purchase fee and adopting an entirely free-to-play system on PC and PS3. While it never required a monthly fee, those interested in playing the SyFy show tie-in game no longer need to purchase the product. Simply install, strap on the biggest guns you can find, and hose down alien scum. The free-to-play model launches June 4th on Steam, with a PS3 fix to be "following shortly."
Players that have kept up with all of Defiance's updates or are just getting into the game now, be aware that the last DLC for this season, "Arktech Revolution", has finally arrived this week. An ample amount of changes have been made for those who paid for the DLC, but an additional title update also altered few things worth taking a look at..
Trion Worlds has announced their latest piece of DLC for Defiance. The 7th Legion is the third downloadable content out of five that have been promised for the MMO. Next to no details have been shared, but Trion did release the following description, albeit void of specifics: When the world fell apart, on...
Defiance is a mixed bag of a game, if you like open world shooters that allow you to eventually co-operate with up to 4 pals you are in luck. If you find downloading 4GB every time you log on annoying, then you are not. This time the update will be worth downloading as it contains the Arkbreaker DLC that opens up all the story missions to co-op.
