Defiance is a massively multiplayer online third-person shooter developed and published by Trion Worlds. Defiance took place on a terraformed Earth several years into the future. It was a tie-in to the Syfy show of the same name. The game was released in April 2013 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It was also released on Steam. The game went free-to-play on June 4, 2014 for PC, August 14, 2014 for PS3 and November 18, 2014 for Xbox 360. Official game servers, community forums, and social media outlets were shut down by owning company Gamigo on April 29, 2021. On March 7, 2025, Fawkes Games announced that it had acquired the licensing rights from Gamigo and relaunched the game on PC on April 18, 2025 through its proprietary launcher, Fawkes Hub.
