Now December is already here! And to celebrate the end of 2025, we have some exciting news!

Please welcome...

Our new publisher Fireshine Games!

Fireshine Games has worked with other indie, open-world survival crafts like Core Keeper and Len's Island, among other titles, so we're really excited to have their experienced team to support us to our 1.0 release and beyond!

We ultimately hope the additional hands and eyes in QA, production, and marketing will mean more polished updates reaching even more players! Consider following them on their socials to get additional Dawn of Defiance updates (Twitter, Bluesky, TikTok).

Lastly, we've partnered with them just in time to share our Desert Reign update this month! Yes, Desert Reign is coming very soon! This time, the update will drop only a couple days after its official date announcement, so please continue to stay tuned. Talk again soon!
