Defiance continues to gain momentum as gaming and TV audiences join forces



May 2, 2013 - Trion Worlds announced today that more than one million Defiance accounts have been created since the launch of the open world shooter one month ago today.

Killing hellbugs, driving ATVs and triggering Arkfalls are among the top in game activities:

· 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.



Finally, Trion has announced the Defiance Most Wanted contest in which fans must outgun the competition in game from April 30 - May 12 to see themselves on an upcoming episode of Defiance on the Syfy channel.
