Attention, Ark hunters. Trion Worlds has released its Aftermath update for the Defiance online game in the wake of the Season 2 finale for the Defiance television show on the SyFy Channel.
The update is the largest since the game got an overhaul during the summer, and it features new missions, enemies, pursuits, contracts, and events for faithful fans of the online game, which has a parallel story that is intertwined with the science fiction TV show.
The free update builds off the climax of the show’s finale, and it will carry players to various locales from Silicon Valley to Paradise. In the game, Earth has been hit with an alien migration that has brought a variety of alien species to the planet. At the moment, the world is teetering on the verge of an all-out war between the Earth Republic and the Votanis Collective.
Defiance will have a New Frontier Harvest festival inside the game in honor of Thanksgiving, with a bunch of new features for players. The SyFy show recently was renewed for a third season, while the game has made the shift from paid subscriptions to free-to-play on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
The game has seven new missions and new story maps, including a bunker deep beneath the Presidio in San Francisco and an “arkfall” underneath the ground in Silicon Valley. I think that’s under my house.
