'Defiance' trailer: First look at Syfy's new TV/videogame series -- EXCLUSIVE VIDEO

Syfy’s upcoming series Defiance is being billed as a transmedia event. The tale of a near-future Earth recovering from an extended apocalyptic war with an alien race, Defiance will debut on SyFy in 2013. But the show is just part of the Defiance experience — there will also be a tie-in MMORPG, allowing viewers to take part directly in the show’s world. And the world on display in the first Defiance trailer looks intriguing, with space sci-fi settings combined with pitched warfare and at least one bare-knuckle fight. Check out the exclusive trailer below!
