The Defiant avslöjar första spelupplägget i ny trailer

The Defiant has received its first gameplay trailer, offering six minutes of in-engine footage from the upcoming cinematic first-person shooter. Released by developer 4Divinity, the trailer provides an early look at the project’s visual direction, combat pacing, and historical focus. No release window was announced.

The footage places players in a war-torn landscape shaped by the War of Resistance against the Japanese invasion. Environments shown include snow-covered forests, exposed roadways under guard, and hostile villages positioned behind enemy lines. The settings emphasize constrained movement, limited cover, and a persistent sense of danger rather than open-ended exploration.

Combat sequences highlight a grounded approach to gunplay. Players are shown using a range of firearms that reflect weapons tied to China’s modern military history. Confirmed weapons include the Hanyang Rifle, the Mauser Military Pistol, and the MP18 Submachine Gun, alongside other period-appropriate firearms. Rifles, assault rifles, pistols, and machine guns appear throughout the trailer, suggesting a broad but historically anchored arsenal.

Enemy encounters focus on survival under pressure rather than spectacle. The trailer avoids exaggerated mechanics, instead presenting short firefights, careful positioning, and deliberate movement through hostile territory. Environmental design appears closely tied to combat flow, with narrow paths and guarded routes shaping how engagements unfold.

4Divinity has not provided additional details on platforms, launch timing, or extended gameplay systems. The trailer functions as an introduction rather than a full showcase, outlining tone and intent while leaving broader questions unanswered.
