We’ve been telling you about the TV series/MMO video game crossover Defiance since it was first announced at E3 in 2011. We’ve been watching the show and the game take shape in the intervening months, and now finally the launch of the game and the premiere of the series are less than one month away.
SciFiMafia.com attended a set tour and press conference a few months ago and we have chosen a sampling from the sheer tonnage of pics taken to share with you, to accompany this first Making Of featurette of the game and series and the newest trailer for the series and TV spot for the game. Watch for additional featurettes and pics for the series and for the game, as well as a review of the series premiere and an interview with the series showrunner and a Trion VP, in the coming days.
