Trion Worlds' sci-fi MOBA, End of Nations, is now on hold, following years of tumultuous development.

Voxel-y sandbox worlds with digging and building and crafting are all the rage nowadays, and Trion Worlds has one of its own too.

Defiance's first major expansion, the Castithan Charge Pack, will hit PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 on August 20.

MMO developer Trion Worlds continues to reorganize. After gutting its Defiance team earlier this year, the company has announced that it is now shutting down its San Diego office.

Troubled Trion Worlds title End of Nations has apparently gotten a facelift, changing the game from an MMO RTS to a MOBA. The official website for the game revealed the new genre, and Trion said they will make an official announcement on Wednesday with more details.
