Defiance continues to gain momentum as gaming and TV audiences join forces at Sci-Fi-London.
Throughout this week, SFL visitors have been enjoying some serious hellbugging at the Defiance game stands as part of this year's festival. So it came as no surprise when Trion Worlds told us that more than one million Defiance accounts have been created since the launch of the open world shooter one month ago. Fans of both the game and show have truly immersed themselves into the futuristic world of Defiance, with gamers eclipsing major milestones in-game, while digital TV viewers have tuned in at record numbers for the first two episodes aired on the SyFy Channel.
Apparently, killing hellbugs, driving ATVs and triggering Arkfalls are among the top in-game activities:
The not so cute or cuddly hellbugs have put up a good fight, but gamers are showing an incredible love for dropkicking, exploding and decimating them by annihilating more than 500,000,000 hellbugs to date.
Jumping on their ATV and cruising around the Badlands has led to gamers driving 50,000,000 miles around the terra-formed Bay Area.
Banding together, Ark Hunters have engaged in triggering and battling back an incredible 1,000,000 Arkfalls.
As if that wasn't enough, earlier this week, Trion also revealed their Defiance Most Wanted Contest in which fans must outgun the competition in game from April 29 - May 12 to have the chance of seeing themselves on an upcoming episode of Defiance on the Syfy channel. With a spot on the show up for grabs, no doubt another wave of accounts will be registered as the bullets pile up!
Defiance the game is out now, available on PS3, X360 and PC plus you can get hands on or catch the live action trailer at SFL festival screenings.
