To our loyal Defiance and Defiance 2050 Communities,

8 years in Defiance and another 3 years in Defiance 2050, full of peaks and valleys. Today, with a heavy heart, we are sad to announce that Defiance and Defiance 2050 will officially cease all operations on April 29, 2021.

We concluded both games could no longer sustain themselves. This decision has been a difficult one to make.

While we are discontinuing the game’s service, the journey we’ve taken together has been a valuable learning and unforgettable experience, one we will remember for a long time.

As of today, all cash purchases will be disabled. Bits already purchased before February 24, 2021 will still be usable until the end of service.

Players may continue to play in Defiance and Defiance 2050 and enjoy all game features until April 29, 2021.

Leading up to that date, we will continue to hold server events and giveaways to say “Thank You” to all our loyal and valued players. We will keep you updated about the available content.

For more information about the closure of Defiance and Defiance 2050, please visit our Game Closure FAQ read our in-depth announcement on our Forum.

A heartfelt thank you to every player who took the time to play our beloved games and helped us along the way with feedback and suggestions.

Fondest regards,
Your Defiance and Defiance 2050 Team
