D'après Taome, le MMO sera lancé quelques jours avant la série, soit surement début avril, afin que les joueurs puissent progresser dans l'histoire principale, et y rencontrer pour la première fois les personnages de la série (on les rencontre avant qu'ils partent pour St Louis).
En effet, le jeu se passe à San Francisco et la série se passe à St Louis.
Du coup, les deux ne partage pas le même "symbole", ni tout à fait le même environnement, même si l'on nous promet des interactions.
Pour le MMO, c'est le Golden Gate, célèbre pont de San Francisco.
Pour la série, c'est la fameuse arche de St Louis.
Le premier épisode de la série est prévu le 16 avril, soit dans 83 jours. Ca ne laisse que très peu de temps pour corriger les bugs et peaufiner le jeu. Car le jeu a l'impératif de devoir sortir avant la série. Crossmédia oblige. Ce sera pas une sortie, comme pour les autres mmo, où le jeu sort "quand ce sera pret". Wait and see...
Encore une fois, le plus sage étant d'attendre les premiers Tests du jeu avant d'acheter quoi que ce soit.
Set in the near future, seven different alien species known collectively as Votans have come to Earth seeking a new home after their star system was destroyed. However, upon reaching Earth they found that they were not welcome. The Votans waited in orbit for six years as prolonged negotiations with Earth governments for settlement on the planet ultimately proved fruitless. With supplies on their ships running low, eventually in desperation the Votans began a war with humans to force the issue and make Earth their new home. During the war, Votan ships shot down by human militaries accidentally released terraformer technology, which made haphazard and radical changes to the biosphere and even the geology of Earth, making the planet dangerous to both humans and the aliens.
The earth was scorched, chasms opened in the ground, and the surface of the planet was covered with dust and debris. After decades of war, both sides had fought to the point of mutual exhaustion, and a ceasefire was declared. Few organized governments remained for either the humans or the aliens, and both sides factionalized as their members began looking out for themselves. In several areas, local human and Votan militias began to band together when they realized that they had to cooperate if they hoped to survive on this new almost alien planet.
Jeb Nolan was only ten years old when the Votans arrived and he served in the military during the war. With the war now over, he returns to his hometown of St. Louis to find that its is no longer the city he left; it is little more than a refugee camp renamed "Defiance". Deciding that his services are needed, Jeb takes up a position as the Chief Lawkeeper in Defiance, so he can protect the town from dangerous clashes between humans and aliens, military scavengers and other dangerous visitors who occasionally enter the town.
