A new open-world survival game inspired by Greek mythology called Dawn of Defiance will be released later this year in early access on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
The game, which is being developed by Traega Entertainment, a development studio self-funded by its founder Dax Hock, comprised of talent with decades of experience coming from well-known studios, including Sony, Epic, Bethesda, Gearbox, and Funcom, will combine all of the staples of the genre with divine powers, expansive crafting, and co-op multiplayer for up to four players.
You are the Defier of Gods. Ascend from weak soldier to god-like anti-hero, venturing across the ruined Isles, building impressive temples, and vanquishing the Gods' followers to gain their mythic abilities. Gather resources, construct a base, craft and upgrade your gear, and face down the legendary challenges of the Gods with friends or on your own to survive.
Key Features
- Survive the Isles: You awaken on a forgotten shore. Starting from nothing, you must hunt for resources and arm yourself against the many dangers of the Isles.
- Explore the Ruins: Venture across the Isles, explore landmarks, discover treasure, and take on the Gods' challenges. Grow in strength with each victory through new recipes and upgrades.
- Customized Crafting: Select the design of your weapons, craft with a range of ingredients, and build impressive structures that rival the very halls of Olympus.
- Defy the Gods: Face off against the mighty followers of the Gods, complete altar challenges, and prevail on the Isles. Only then will you prove yourself in the name of Defiance.
- Band Together: Undertake this deadly odyssey on your own, or recruit up to three friends to aid your journey at any time in online cooperative multiplayer.
Dawn of Defiance will launch on Steam and the Epic Games Store in early access later this year. More information can be found on its official website.
