The market for free-to-play and multiplayer shooters is highly saturated, but there are still proposals that manage to capture the communitys attention. Surprisingly, XDefiant, Ubisofts upcoming free-to-play FPS, exceeded the expectations of many players and became one of the most anticipated gaming experiences of the year. When will it debut?
Its worth remembering that this free-to-play proposal was supposed to arrive sometime in the summer; however, the development studio had to delay the release date because the game failed to pass certification on PlayStation and Xbox.
Does that mean the project is an unplayable disaster? No, according to the developers. Instead, the issue lies in aspects like the trophy/achievement system, friend lists, and other general details that impact the players experience. Now, when will the release take place?
Release Date Leak for XDefiant, Ubisofts New Free-to-Play
In September, when the game didnt pass certification on Microsoft and Sony consoles, Executive Producer Mark Rubin hinted that, if they had the chance to do a Day 1 patch, they could launch the project sometime in October.
Although well have to wait to find out, a new clue indicates that indeed, this free-to-play FPS will arrive sometime this month.
According to the popular Call of Duty specialist informant, TheMW2Ghost, XDefiant will debut on October 28. Additionally, he detailed that the development studio, Ubisoft San Francisco, plans to hold a launch event on that day.
Prestigious journalist Tom Henderson detailed in an article for Insider Gaming that, while they were unable to independently verify the multiplayer video games release date, they also received information indicating that the company plans to host a special event on October 28, although the details remain a mystery.
It is important to note that this information lacks confirmation, so we recommend taking it with a grain of salt and waiting for Ubisoft San Francisco to comment on it with an official statement or announcement.
What Is XDefiant?
For those unfamiliar, XDefiant is a new multiplayer first-person shooter where fans can play as soldiers from various factions inspired by the Ubisoft universe, such as Watch Dogs and Splinter Cell. Of course, each group will have its own abilities and tools.
There will be multiple game modes such as Domination and Zone Control, as well as a variety of maps. Naturally, players can use an extensive range of customizable weapons.
Although XDefiant generated skepticism and suspicion in its original announcement, it gradually won over players hearts through its Beta tests. It even became very popular on Twitch and surpassed Call of Duty, Overwatch, and other free-to-play experiences.
