'The Success of Defiance Doesn't Rely on TV Show'

There’s a considerable amount of ambition and expiramentation behind Trion Worlds’ first multi-platform big-budget MMO. The third-person shooter Defiance will run in tandem with the tie-in television show of the same name which is set to air on the Syfy network this April.

Story events and characters seamlessly transition from one part of the transmedia equation to the other, but what if the show isn’t the runaway success that Syfy are anticipating? How would Trion Worlds react if the show became a flop shortly after it aired its first episode?

We talked to the game's senior producer Rob Hill to find out.
