Call me gullible, but I love a good zombie apocalypse theme in games and thats exactly what Defiance is delivering with its latest crossover event. You may recall that I mentioned in last weeks report about the new sickness event in Defiance that the devs had at one point hinted that players might be tasked with saving a town at some point. As it turns out, not only are they tasked with saving a town, but its the television shows town of Defiance, and its to save them from a zombie-like plague that is sweeping across the Bay Area.
The new crossover event starts today and Defiance players will be challenged with eradicating the infection in the game and discovering a cure before it infests the television show town of Defiance. A television show tie-in episode is scheduled to air on June 17th as the infection and paranoia begins to spread amongst the town, prompting Doc Yewll to call for aid from the game. Exactly what impact players may be able to have if any at all on the eventual outcome of the infestation storyline relating to the show wasnt exactly made clear, so for now players are simply tasked with searching for a cure and completing the newly added content.
In addition to the new crossover event, todays update also brings lots of new content to Defiance such as the new Plague Siege mode, 8 new emergencies, 2 new Pursuits, new data recorders, and new story missions that will unlock on June 10th through June 17th.
Check out the official patch notes along with a new trailer and screenshots below.
