Beginning with last week’s episode of Defiance the show on the Syfy channel, viewers were introduced to a new evil character named Rynn who entered Defiance with the goal unleashing hordes of Hellbugs upon the residents. For her crimes, Rynn was arrested at the end of the episode, but things didn’t go as planned… As she was being transported by land coach to a prison in Las Vegas, escorted by lead character Nolan and Amanda the land coach was hijacked… and that is the last you will see of her for now, unless you are playing the game!
Following her escape from persecution, Rynn's character enters the game world letting loose all new Hellbug enemies on players kicking off what we're calling "Hellbug Season," unleashing swarms of the alien monsters across the game world. Players will have to defeat the Hellbugs and work together to return Rynn to Defiance in order for her to appear back in the show. For players of Defiance the game, the timing for these events take place over most of the month of May. Event increments will occur in phases, with increased hellbug activity in the game until Rynn arrives to offer a variety of missions.
