"Defiance is scheduled for release in April 2013, and can be pre-ordered online soon, and now at major games retailers. "

Some people wondered, though it was pretty certain anyway.

Good news. I cant stand F2P games.

I'd like to know where the preorders at major retailers are. I only see them at gamestop.

Im going to wait to see if any pre order bonuses pop up before pre ordering.

Some interesting tidbits in the Amazon product page:

• A Massive, Persistent World - Fully realized, persistent open world (no loading screens between zones) set in a futuristic San Francisco Bay Area, supporting tens of thousands of live players.
• Player Progression Evolved - Console-native shooter with a multitude of weapons armors, and special abilities that evolve with experience.

Could mean tens of thousands per server, but that seems unlikely.

Console-native means it's a port to PC, which means it'll have a ****ty console/controller-based interface that barely works with mouse/kb.

It's the business model I was expecting and I hope it will pan out great for Trion.
