Twenty years have passed since the catastrophic Arkfall event left millions of Votans dead and Earth terraformed into a nearly unrecognizable post-apocalyptic landscape. In Defiance 2050’s version of San Francisco, players are transported to a dynamic open world where they can explore and fight in skirmishes and story-driven missions on an epic scale. Players will engage in massive cooperative battles with their friends, utilize hundreds of distinct weapons and skills, and take on huge alien threats as they explore transformed futuristic environments.

Defiance 2050 recreates the original game from the ground up, offering an experience that is the definitive Defiance experience in every way. Today’s consoles and PCs enable the dev team to implement features and upgrades that fans of the game have been clamoring for. Advancements in hardware allow for action on an even larger scale than before, with more players able to take to the battlefield in white-knuckled combat.

More than just a simple graphical remaster, Defiance 2050 is a major update to the original game’s systems, which have been streamlined and modernized. Environments are bigger and better than ever, enemies are even more ruthless, and weaponry is more adaptable to the player’s style.

Prepare yourselves for launch this summer and take an in-depth look at the 4 new starter classes (Assassin, Guardian, Combat Medic, and Assault) in Defiance 2050.

Players can freely switch between other classes they have unlocked either through gameplay or by purchasing one of the Founder’s Packs.

Assassin: Stealthy Slayer

Specialize in critical strikes, surprise attacks, and all-out damage as the deadly Assassin class! Sneak up on enemies with your innate Stealth ability and strike through with your Hidden Blade to cut them down.

Guardian: Defensive Protector

Hold the line and keep allies safe in the New Frontier as the valiant Guardian class. Put up a protective Barrier to block incoming fire and unleash a Shockwave that stuns foes in an area in front of you. Make a stand and significantly reduce damage taken with your Steadfast ability, then follow up with Taunt to have enemies to focus fire on you.

Combat Medic: Tactical Healer

Heal up wounds, save lives, and buff your squad as the vital Combat Medic class. You come equipped with a Healing Bot that follows you and supports your team. Use Inspire to increase your allies damage or grant them an EGO Refresh for greatly improved cooldown reduction on abilities!

Assault: Versatile Fighter

Become an all-around offensive and defensive Ark Hunter as the adaptable Assault class. Use the Sprint ability to get into the action or to make a smooth retreat out of danger! Dive head on for some devastating Super Melee attacks that will truly crush your enemies.

The Ultimate Founder’s Pack includes all 5 unique classes, 3-day head start, an amazing ATV vehicle, slick outfits, special titles, inventory slots, 30-day XP boost, and $50 worth of Bits! The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 Founder’s Packs will also be available at a later date.

The next beta event and launch date have not been announced yet, but stay connected for upcoming news.

Defiance 2050 will be available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC summer 2018.
