Defiance DLC – Finally A Release Date

The grueling wait is finally over–you can now dust off your copies of Defiance and get ready for the Castithan Charge Pack. It has been a long wait for me since I bought it in March; it felt like years, but Trion has finally announced a release date for Defiance’s first DLC the Castithan Charge Pack.

The official release date is now set as August 20th, only 7 short days away. The DLC will be available for you automatically if you bought the season pass, if not it will be available to purchase separately for $9.99. If you are broke like me and can’t afford to get the DLC, Trion will be releasing a bunch of content that will be free to everyone, no purchase required.

I am super excited about this DLC, the Defiance community has been dwindling for a while now. In this new DLC, we will be getting a brand new story arc of missions to keep us occupied as well as a treasure trove of other goodies. Here is a list of most of what you will be getting when the Castithan Charge Pack finally drops.

You get this when you buy the DLC for $10:
