Last month we debuted a five-minute live action trailer to give you an up-close-and-personal look at what life is like for an Ark Hunter, the role you will play in Defiance. In it three Ark Hunters plunged headfirst into a dangerous battle surrounding an ‘Arkfall’ in hopes of claiming the much-sought after prize – Arktech – a valuable alien technology that is often found at these Arkfall sites.

Today, we have the first of 7 Ark Hunter Chronicles, an animated digital comic series. These chronicles follow the same trio of Ark Hunters as they battle and survive through a world transformed by alien life. The first full episode is called “New Freedom”.

Today we’re proud to announce that Defiance, the upcoming massive online third person shooter in development at Trion Worlds, will be available at retail and live on PlayStation 3‘s everywhere on 2nd April.

In a mere matter of weeks, you and all your friends will be able to brave the wilds of the San Francisco Bay Area together, hunting down precious arktech, taking down mutants and alien monsters, and, battling with and against hundreds of other PlayStation players in arkfalls and Shadow Wars.

Defiance is multiplayer open world shooter that Trion Worlds is developing, and will be launching this April on PlayStation 3.
