DEFY
Launches 6 November 2026 · PC
Story
A BEAUTIFUL WORLD, RUNNING OUT Sixty years ago the Severance tore down the orbital grid that held the old world together. Debris fell across the interior and left the Ashwaste. The coast rebuilt; the interior survived. Now both want what is left: river valleys, mountain passes, frozen ridges, craters and quiet farmland, built from real-world scanned terrain and worth fighting over. DEFY is real-time strategy built on one rule: nothing on the battlefield lasts . Every supply node shrinks as you draw from it, then runs dry. No army can sit still, and no match plays the same way twice. TWO NATIONS, EACH SURE IT IS RIGHT The Meridian Concord believes it is restoring civilisation: order, precision, air power and directed energy, every deployment weighed against its cost. Its certainty is its blindness. It sees the interior as disorder to correct, not people with a claim, and it has buried what it knows about how the sky fell. The Ashpact Horde believes the coast owes a debt, and that it will be collected. Cheap mass, toxins, demolition, stealth and salvage, bound by an oath of survival. Its grudge cannot be bargained with, it spends lives cheaply, and its oath still binds...

Each side has three sects, and a doctrine is a permanent choice: Concord: Skywarden Command owns the sky, Arc Division trades bullets...
