Defiance DLC – Finally A Release Date

We Finally Find Out The Release Date Of The First Defiance DLC

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:

  • Access to play the Castithan Species
  • Access to a new Story Mission Line with new Battle Arena Game Mode
  • Access to the new Castithan Battle Arenas

  • A unique version of the Raptor, a new 4 player truck of doom
  • A unique Castithan version of an outfit

You get this in the DLC for free:
