Defiance was the first MMO to spawn a TV show. Sharing the same characters, locations and even the same weapons as the game, Defiance launched on TV on 2 April 2013. The narrative of the show is the work of TV channel Syfy (formerly Sci-Fi Channel). Between its launch on 2 April, and 2 May 2013, Defiance the game amassed 1,000,000 registered accounts. A possible World of Warcraft film and an Eve Online series looks likely to continue the trend.

The narrative of the third-person shooter is weaved together to create a cohesive setting where the outcome of one can affect the other.
