Trion Worlds is currently working on Defiance 2050, a reboot of the online shooter Defiance for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The game is intended to be a new game rather than a replacement for the original.
Defiance 2050 will not only be a graphical update of the original. From a story standpoint, it is set four years later and will feature many quality-of-life improvements that modern online shooters are now accustomed to. In addition, even larger battles will be offered, and the class system will be revamped. Additionally, it will be possible to upgrade your items. The developers plan to present these and other innovations in more detail in the future.
Defiance 2050 does not replace the original
One might think that Trion Worlds wants to replace Defiance with the reboot. However, that is not the case. As the developers explain, both versions are intended to coexist side by side. So, if you prefer to play the original, you can continue to do so. The team will even continue to support the “old” version with updates that go beyond just maintenance mode. Events and a new reward system are planned.
This system, called “Valor,” allows you to carry over a portion of your progress from Defiance to the reboot. However, it will not be possible to transfer your character. Items and titles are also excluded from the transfer. This is because Defiance 2050 is essentially built as a new game.
This means:
- New level system
- New items
- Fundamental changes to gameplay
- The game will differ significantly from the original Defiance
The gaming experience is to be preserved
What will remain the same is the gaming experience and also the entry point, which many players found very pleasant. You will also be able to easily jump into Defiance 2050.
