All right, so... huh.

Still scratching your head a bit about the Defiance 2050 surprise announcement yesterday? We all are. Fortunately, we do have a bit more information about what’s going on with the new version of the game, thanks to a new FAQ, feature rundown, and a producer’s letter explaining a little bit more.

First and foremost, the big news you were waiting to hear about: No, players are not going to be able to transfer characters straight over from the original Defiance. Players will retain some of their progress, and accumulating Valor on the existing version of the game will lead to further rewards in Defiance 2050, so you can still unlock some things. You also can let go of any notions about new cross-platform play; the game will still be locked by its three platforms.

Players can, however, enjoy a game that’s been built from the ground up as a free-to-play system with improved graphics, new gameplay systems, and various other improvements. Check out the FAQ for more information, or read through the producer’s letter for a clearer portrait of how we wound up here.
