Defiance and Defiance 2050 Shutting Down

Trion Worlds Makes Announcement on Steam

Trion Worlds has announced that both Defiance and Defiance 2050 will be shutting down on April 29th. The news was posted on the game's Steam page, and it states that the servers will be taken offline at 10:00 AM PDT on that date.

Reason for Shutdown Not Disclosed

The announcement from Trion Worlds did not disclose the reason for the shutdown, but it did thank the players for their support over the years. The game was originally released in 2013, and it was a tie-in to the Syfy show of the same name. Defiance 2050 was released in 2018 as a free-to-play reboot of the original game.

Both Games to Close Down

The shutdown of both Defiance and Defiance 2050 is a sad day for fans of the franchise. The games were both praised for their unique blend of shooter and MMO gameplay, and they had a loyal following of players. However, it seems that the games were not able to sustain a large enough player base to keep them profitable, and thus they are being shutdown.

If you are a fan of Defiance and Defiance 2050, be sure to play them as much as you can before the servers go offline. Once the games are shut down, they will be gone for good.
