Release date: TBA


The beast is unleashed now, and my company finally announced our 3rd game in the works..
Defiance™ is the first-ever open-world shooter MMO. It combines the intense moment-to-moment action of a shooter with the persistence and large-scale campaign play of an MMO. Defiance is being developed for the PC, PlayStation® 3, and Xbox 360® entertainment consoles, and features familiar shooter controls.


In a first-of-its-kind partnership, Trion and Syfy are collaborating on a massive event that will launch Defiance simultaneously as a global television program on Syfy and an MMO from Trion. In an entertainment first, the game and show will influence and depend on each other, and even feature some players’ characters on the TV shows as extras.

TRION AND SYFY REVEAL DEFIANCE™, THE FIRST INTERCONNECTED VIDEO GAME AND TELEVISION SERIES
Trion’s Multi-Platform Shooter MMO to Debut at E3; Rockne S. O’Bannon Tapped to Write Series for Syfy

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif. – June 6, 2011 – Defiance™, the upcoming open world shooter MMO from Trion Worlds, will make its official debut at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo, June 7-9. Demos will take place behind closed doors at the Trion booth over the course of the three-day show. Select press and VIPs will see the first shooter-style MMO to play live on PC, Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.

Defiance is the first multi-platform shooter MMO which, in a ground-breaking entertainment experience, interconnects with a global television program by Syfy, cable’s premier imagination-based entertainment channel. Announced last year, the first live gameplay demo of Trion and Syfy’s visionary concept will debut at the annual industry event.

On the television side, the Defiance series, to be produced by Universal Cable Productions, will be penned by Rockne S. O’Bannon, a legendary sci-fi TV writer best-known for his work on Warehouse 13, Alien Nation, seaQuest DSV, and Farscape.

Wasn't Planetside the first "open world" MMO-FPS?

Sounds like a good idea though...but SyFy really irks me after they gutted the Stargate series :\

"the game and show will influence and depend on each other", that seems really convoluted. I can't see them pulling off unless it's really generic.
I used to be just like you, then I took a sweetroll to the knee.

I haven't seen Trion publicly claim that the game will be a FPS. They just said it will be a shooter, which could be first-person, third-person, or even top-down.

As for Syfy, I really hope they put some real money into the show and at least afford some better effects than all the movies they've been putting out. The Red Faction: Origins show that just started is pretty good, but some of the effects are still pretty bad.

The trailer is pretty and serene, but it tells us nothing about the game besides the setting .___.

If this could create anywhere near the satisfaction that Planetside did for me, than I am on board. I've been keeping my eye on Planetside 2 but they haven't been releasing much information which makes me believe it's pretty early in it's production. Can't wait to see actual gameplay for Defiance.

I'm playing, NA. Honestly? It's actually a fun game, a decent mix of RTS with some RPG elements. Not your standard Cover shooter either.

The best part? Headshots!

The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.
