Greetings Ark Hunters!
Defiance and Defiance 2050 are bring all platforms and regions offline for the Solstice Strike patch at 10AM PST (6PM UTC) on Monday, December 17, 2018. We'll post the patch notes as soon as they are finalized.
Downtime is expected to take approximately 3 hours, but we'll bring each version of the game back online as it finishes.
If we need more time, or come back online earlier, we'll update this post.
Thanks!
