A dead sci-fi MMO that had a companion TV show of the same name, Defiance, is being brought back to life by Fawkes, a studio "dedicated to reviving treasured titles," and I'm angry at myself for not having heard about it sooner.
Defiance is a 2013 MMO about humanity and aliens trying to coexist on Earth after extraterrestrials invaded and terraformed the planet. The mix of futuristic sci-fi and gritty post-apocalypse sounds cool, but as PC Gamer reported, it never made much of a splash. According to SteamDB, its peak concurrent player count on Steam was just 12,690.
