OUR EARLY ACCESS ROADMAP
DESERT REIGN
December 2025, we released Dawn of Defiance "Desert Reign," the second of our major updates outlined on our Early Access Roadmap. Desert Reign brought the first iteration of character creator, including the female player model, plus an expansion of the Ancient Desert and a new raid experience in the Temple of Poseidon. In addition, we released other new features, from two new facilities and three new legendary weapons, to repeatable quests and more! For a full list of features and improvements that came with Desert Reign, check out our Steam news page or our website.
SISTERS OF THE DEEP
The first major update in our Early Access Roadmap went live in June 2025! "Sisters of the Deep" brought new enemies, new weapons, and new challenges and objectives across the Dark Forest, culminating with the game's first raid experience in the Temple of Athena! Take on the Gorgon Sisters to earn powerful weapons from the Gods that must be reforged at the new facility: Hephaestus Forge!
MORE UPDATES TO COME!
After having prioritized the first few months of Early Access to making quality of life improvements and solidifying the foundation of our game, and now with two major updates under our belt and a new publishing partner, we're excited to continue progressing towards our 1.0 Release with new content across at least two more major updates!
We weighed feedback from our players with our internal goals, and we've outlined the features we plan to implement into the game before the final release. You can read that list and more information at the Dawn of Defiance website! Look for the link in the right panel.
About the Game
As you take your first steps into the afterlife, you discover the gates of the Underworld are sealed! The Gods are no longer here to protect you. You must start from nothing, arm yourself against the dangers of the isles, and break the seals of the Olympians which bar you from your eternal destiny in Elysium!
EXPLORE THE ISLES
Venture across the ruins and wilds, just beyond the gates of the Underworld. With heightened movement abilities, traverse and endure the natural challenges of coastal cliffs, foggy woods, dark caves, and blistering sands to unlock treasure and power amidst reclaimed temples.
EMPOWER YOURSELF
To fight back against the natural wildlife and fallen heroes that came before, you must grow in strength through acquired recipes and upgrades. As you claim victories across the isles, build and adorn impressive Greek structures that rival the halls of Olympus, protect yourself with customizable, crafted gear, and weld together weapons of the Gods.
DEFY THE GODS
After you have learned to survive on Veilpoint, you must seek answers across the Crossroads! In the Gods' mysterious absence from the Crossroads, their shrines are overrun by their enemies. To discover the truth and break the Olympic seals, you must venture into their domain and slay the mythic bosses within.
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. Give your Spartan personality in our new character creator, with dozens of characterization options from hair styles, complexions, face shapes, and more. Divide and conquer to gather resources and claim the isles in the name of Defiance while sharing objective rewards across players, so you never miss out. Customize your gameplay experience with our numerous server settings, including toggleable drop-on-death, disabling durability, adjusting health and damage, and more.
Please note: We utilize Epic Online Services for our backend to enable cross-play compatibility for those that want to play with friends regardless of where they purchased the game. This requires an installation of an EOS dependency to allow the game to communicate with backend systems. You do not need to install Epic Games Store, nor have an Epic account to play our game. If you are playing on Steam, the only data that this EOS dependency pulls from you is publicly available information related to your steam account.
