There have been more World War 2 video games than anyone can count, but none of them have shown the historic conflict like this. The Defiant takes us back to the Second Sino-Japanese War and puts us in the boots of Chinese soldiers fighting across numerous real battles. We caught up with Yu Heng Kong, founder of developer Hoothanes and producer of The Defiant, and Chor Yong, COO of publisher 4Divinity, to discuss the different gameplay opportunities offered by each of the campaign's battles, recreating historical weapons and locations, and telling a war story unlike anything the genre has seen before.

The Defiant is currently in development for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
