If anything, Aleris, who leads them, seems to be ''specifically targeting the Outpost Defenders''.
*SerialEscalation: The first game's villain is just a generic WesternTerrorist with advanced technologies. ''Numbers'' has the same villain utilize a MindControl frequency in a bid to TakeOverTheWorld. ''Digital Warfare'' has a new villain who bought video game enemies and villains into reality ForTheEvulz. ''Retribution'' has a bigger terrorist organization that is so powerful it borders on being an NGOSuperpower OrganizationWithUnlimitedFunding.

On May 2016, ''Outpost Defenders III'' ended prematurely due to [=Bioshock_Rulez=] losing motivation to update the game, citing the game [[ItsEasySoItSucks becoming too easy]] as the reason for discontinuing it.
The series will eventually receive a "reboot" of sorts in the form of ''[[https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/off-topic/forum-games/2883659-outpost-defenders-retribution-assassinating-the Outpost Defenders: Retribution]]'' in January 2018. ''Retribution'' takes place a year after the events of ''Digital Warfare'' (with its villains having been dealt with offscreen), and pits the titular BadassCrew against a more powerful foe than the Cordis Die. ''Retribution'' eventually [[ChannelHop moved]] [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/outpost-defenders-retribution-on-the-precipice.754447/ to]] [[Website/SpaceBattlesDotCom Space Battles Forums]] following the news that ''Minecraft Forums'' will be archived and rendered read-only [[note]]which eventually did not happen, but by that time, ''Retribution'' has already migrated to Space Battles[[/note]].
