Defiance – Free-to-Play Coming Our Way

Starting this June 4th just in time for Season 2, Defiance will be heading for Free-to-Play, change coming mid-July for the PS3 and Xbox 360. If you bought a boxed or a digital copy you will receive some nice in-game bonuses. 1,000 Arkforge, which will be redeemable for upgrading your weapon’s power rating, upping one of your uncommon weapons to epic rarity, or resetting weapon mastery.

Current ark hunters will also be getting more ark keycode capacity, loadouts, character slots, and inventory slots than the free-to-play accounts. Anyone wanting to expand the things they already have, Trion Worlds will be offering increases to those limits.

 Veteran ark hunters will also get 30 days of Paradise Patron status which include…

• Boosts to skill, XP, scrip, salvage, and reputation gain rates that stack with boosts available in the store.
• 10% store-wide discount on boosts, costumes, lock boxes – all of it!
• A daily grab bag of two-hour boosts.
• Arkforge from Daily and Weekly Ark Hunter Bonus Lock Boxes. (Playing on Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3? Be sure to link your account to get this bonus!)

So if you’ve never played Defiance or stopped playing, June 4th will be a great time to checking things out for the first time or for a second chance!
