Defiance 2050 Closed Beta Codes And In-Game Item Promotions

The provided source material details promotional activities related to the video game Defiance 2050, specifically focusing on closed beta access codes and a key giveaway for in-game cosmetic items. These promotions were active around April 2018, coinciding with the game's upcoming summer release. The information originates from promotional partner sites and gaming news outlets, detailing the process for obtaining and redeeming these digital codes. It is important to note that these offers were time-limited events tied to a specific game launch cycle and are no longer active. The following article synthesizes the available data on these promotions, outlining the types of offers, the redemption process, and the context of the game's release.

Overview of Promotional Activities

Two distinct types of promotional codes were distributed for Defiance 2050 during the period leading up to its launch: codes for closed beta access and codes for in-game cosmetic items. Both were offered through third-party promotional partners and required specific redemption steps.

One primary promotion involved access to the game's second closed beta test. This event was scheduled to run from April 27 to April 29, 2018. The beta was available on multiple platforms, with codes specifically mentioned for PC and Xbox One. Participants in this beta test were granted access to a limited portion of the game, with the ability to level their character up to level 25 and explore two specific locations: Mount Tam and Madera. A key incentive for participation was the promise of a special "Beta Blazer" title that would be awarded to beta testers upon the game's full release. The source material indicates that promotional partners distributed a limited number of codes for this beta, with one partner reporting 1,000 codes for PC and 500 for Xbox One.

A separate promotion, detailed by MMOBomb in partnership with Gamigo, offered a free key for in-game items. This key unlocked two cosmetic items: the Urban Commando Headgear and the Urban Commando Outfit. This promotion was presented as a "free gift Key" available to users who completed a series of steps on the partner's website. The source material emphasizes that these keys were available "while supplies last," indicating a limited quantity.

Process for Obtaining and Redeeming Codes

The source material outlines a clear, multi-step process for users to obtain and redeem these promotional codes. The process for the in-game item key is described in the most detail.

To obtain the Urban Commando cosmetic key from MMOBomb, users were required to complete all steps presented on the partner's promotional page. The specific steps are not listed in the source, but the instruction is to "complete all the steps on the top." Following this, users were directed to download the game from a provided link. The redemption process required users to have an account with the game's publisher, Trion Worlds. Users were instructed to either log in to an existing account or create a new one.

The actual code redemption occurred on a specific Trion Worlds web page: http://store.trionworlds.com/commerce/voucher/redeem-voucher-flow. Users were to enter their unique code on this page. After redeeming the code, users were instructed to open the game Defiance 2050 and log in. Upon selecting a character and logging in, the items (Urban Commando Headgear and Outfit) would be automatically added to the player's inventory, accessible through the "Claim Items Menu."

The process for obtaining and redeeming closed beta codes is less explicitly detailed in the source chunks. The general instruction, as seen in one partner's description, was to "pick your code below, you can redeem..." implying that a code was provided directly on the promotional page. The redemption location for beta codes is not specified in the provided text, though it can be inferred it would involve a similar process on the game's official website or launcher.

Game Context and Release Information

The promotions were for Defiance 2050, a massively multiplayer third-person shooter developed and published by Trion Worlds (a subsidiary of Gamigo). The game is described as a follow-up to the original Defiance game. It was scheduled for release in the summer of 2018 on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The source material notes that Defiance 2050 featured updated textures, improved resolutions, and better frame rates compared to its predecessor.

Gameplay elements mentioned include playing as an "Ark Hunter," with customization options involving thousands of unique classes, weapons, and upgrade combinations. The game supports instanced battles in large 64x64 terrains, where players can form squads of up to four people to advance the story while encountering hundreds of other online players.

Important Considerations and Limitations

Based solely on the provided source material, several key points must be understood:

1. Time-Sensitive Offers: All described promotions were for a specific, past timeframe. The closed beta ran from April 27-29, 2018, and the item key giveaway was available only "while supplies last" at the time of the promotion.
2. Platform Specificity: The beta codes were explicitly for PC and Xbox One. No information is provided about PlayStation 4 beta codes in the source material.
3. Source Reliability: The information comes from promotional partner sites (MMOBomb, Wccftech, PCGamesN) and a game wiki (DefianceWiki). While these are common sources for gaming promotions, the primary redemption process is confirmed by instructions to use the official Trion Worlds store page. The wiki entry confirms that the game's website, Defiance2050.com, served as a hub for beta sign-ups and code redemption.
4. No Ongoing Offers: The source material contains no information suggesting that these specific codes or beta access are still available. The promotions were part of the game's pre-launch marketing campaign.

Conclusion

The provided source material documents two promotional campaigns for the 2018 video game Defiance 2050. One campaign offered limited-access closed beta codes for PC and Xbox One, allowing participants to test the game prior to launch and earn a future title. The other campaign, via MMOBomb and Gamigo, offered a limited number of keys for in-game cosmetic items (Urban Commando Headgear and Outfit). Both promotions required users to complete steps on partner websites and redeem codes through the official Trion Worlds platform. These activities were part of the game's pre-release marketing and are no longer active. The information is specific to the game's launch cycle and does not extend to other types of consumer product samples or offers.
