NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Aug. 15, 2024 – Your odyssey begins today! Independent video game studio Traega Entertainment is excited to launch Dawn of Defiance, the open-world, survival-crafting game inspired by ancient Greek mythology, now available in early access on Steam and the Epic Games Store for $19.99 with an additional 25% off launch discount available until August 29. Combining all the essentials of the survival genre with divine powers, expansive crafting, and co-op multiplayer for up to four players, Dawn of Defiance invites players to rise up and become a legend.

You are the Defier, caught in a saga across mythic isles. Begin as a weak soldier and ascend to a god-like anti-hero. Survive the Crossroads, build impressive Greek structures, and vanquish the followers of the Gods. Gather resources, construct a base, craft and upgrade your gear, and face the trials of the Gods. Embark on this epic journey with up to three friends to prove yourself a champion of defiance.

Key Features

• Survive the Isles: As discontent brews in the Underworld, you have been brought to a lost shore to be tested. To discover the elusive purpose, you must first start from nothing and arm yourself against the dangers of the isles.
• Explore the Ruins: Just beyond the domain of the Gods, traverse coastal cliffs, dark woods, and blistering sands with heightened movement abilities, unlocking treasure and power amidst mythic landmarks.
• Empower Yourself: Your victories across the isles will advance your strength through acquired recipes and upgrades. Build and adorn impressive Greek structures that rival the halls of Olympus, and protect yourself with customizable, crafted gear.
• Defy the Gods: Cross the threshold into the Forgotten Crossroads and complete Labors to sever the Gods’ lingering ties of power and steal their knowledge.
• 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.

Going into early access, Traega’s goals are to improve quality of life and expand the playspace before moving on to new game content like more mythic monsters. Check out Dawn of Defiance’s early access goals to learn more.
