The storyline

[Xannidel]

Not a prequel per se. The show is taking place mostly around the city of ST Louis (now called Defiance) while the game takes place around the San Fransisco area. The game and the show happen at the same time, and you can see effects from events from the game in the show and vice versa. Also some characters will travel "between" the game and show, characters like Joshua Nolan for example. In other words, you may meet Nolan in the game, only to see him take off in his vehicle, and then in that weeks show you'll see him enter Defiance in that same vehicle.

no they are at the same time the tv show is just in st louis and the game is in san fransisco and at some points the two intersect (i,e characters from the tv show going to the game and vice versa)

Thank you fellows for the fast response, that is equally awesome and makes me more excited to watch the show.

Anytime

And I may add that the show will sometimes develop according to how players have deal with certain in-game things, I mean, we may occasionally have the power to influence the direction of the show!

A question about the story if anybody know, what was the cause of the creation of the Arkbelt or is that something yet to be revealed?

The cause is the explosion of all the Ark ships...Still with millions of Votans in hypersleep on board...which happened mysteriously. Arkfalls are fragments of these highly advanced ships raining down, and can contain technology that is highly sought after.

Just some corrections probably, due to the speed of light they saw the earth as it was thousands of years ago? The hypersleep would have nothing to do with relativity. Hope they didn't put that out there poor science research on there part if they did.
