XDefiant, a new free-to-play shooting game made by Ubisoft, has caught the attention of fans who love first-person shooters. It offers fast online battles, team-based play, and many maps and game modes.
Ubisoft had planned to launch a preseason after a recent public test, but they’ve had to delay it indefinitely because they found some unexpected problems.
Ubisoft says in a tweet, “Thank you to everyone who participated in our recent Public Test Session and continues to stand alongside us as we build XDefiant. The PTS once again showed us your appreciation for our fast-paced gunplay, uniquely crafted maps, objective-driven modes, and iconic Faction roster.
But it also surfaced some inconsistencies in the game experience that we need to address prior to launching our Preseason. So we’ve made the hard decision to delay the Preseason of XDefiant.
The team will continue working to address these issues and testing them to make sure we deliver on our goal of being a best-in-class arcade shooter. We will share more information about Preseason and testing as it comes.
Thanks again for your support – we’re working hard to make something really special and we couldn’t do it without you.”
Basically, the game XDefiant doesn’t have a set release date yet. The recent announcement about the delay didn’t tell us when it will be out. Some people think the delay might be a good thing, especially with Call of Duty coming soon.
We really think XDefiant has a higher chance of doing well if it comes out in the first quarter of 2024. Some might feel it’s far away, but it could be a great opportunity for the free-to-play FPS to stand out. That’s when the excitement for the current Call of Duty game is expected to go down.
But there’s a new rumor saying the release date might be moved to October 28. The rumor is from a reliable source called TheMW2Ghost on Twitter, which usually leaks information about that series.
However, it’s essential to be cautious about rumors, as the XDefiant developers haven’t confirmed anything about the release date yet. According to MW2 Ghost, there’s a launch event planned for October 28, suggesting the team might have decided not to release the game during a new Call of Duty event.
If that happens, it’s likely a smart move for XDefiant. Competing directly with a big Call of Duty event just before the next game in that popular series releases was always going to be hard.
Launching in this timeframe will still be challenging, but if XDefiant wants to be the lasting game Ubisoft aims for, it will have enough time to carve out its place.
