As every month, we are here to bring you the monthly recap for Fawkes’ games. From shooting and looting in a scifi world, to building your base and army during world wars. We are always packed up of information and news to share, and hyped to do it. We love what we do, our players, and we love to share.
DEFIANCE
It’s Back and Booming!
March ended with explosive news: DEFIANCE IS BACK!
After years in the shadows, the legendary sci-fi shooter is making a triumphant return to the battlefield. To kick things off, we invited players to take part in the “HELLBUGS GO BOOM” Stress Test on April 5, where they had the chance to dive into the game and provide valuable feedback to help shape the official launch.
đź“… Mark your calendars: Defiance officially relaunches on April 18, 2025.
A new war is about to begin… and only the strongest will survive.
Get ready to jump back into the fight!
Our final Stress Test is happening tomorrow 11 April at 21:00 UTC and the servers will be open for approximately 2–3 hours. This is your last shot to help shape the game before launch on April 18.
🛡️ Suit up, log in, and bring the heat—hellbugs won’t boom💥 themselves.

SHAIYA
Easter Arrives with PvP Mayhem & Community Fun
This Easter update introduced a series of brand-new daily missions that reward players with tokens, encouraging regular play and steady progress throughout the season. These tokens can be used to unlock various goodies—but the real prize lies in the final Easter quest, which grants access to an exclusive seasonal pet, only available during this limited-time event. A true collector’s item!
To keep the world of Shaiya buzzing with activity, several special in-game events were also held during the month:
GM Hide & Seek, challenging players to track down elusive staff members across the world, Treasure Chest Hunts, giving everyone a chance to uncover hidden rewards, Boss Invasions in PvP maps, where powerful monsters descended on contested zones, creating moments of pure chaos and delivering high-stakes loot to those brave enough to engage.
Whether you’re a dedicated PvPer, an event enthusiast, or just in it for the seasonal cosmetics, March delivered plenty of thrills and rewards for every kind of hero.
