Ubisoft is known for its shooter games, like Rainbow Six Siege. I’ve been playing their FPS games for a while, even going back to the original Tom Clancy titles on PC.
Remember Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfare or Rainbow Six Vegas? I used to be the top free-for-all player in Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfare!
The fast arena shooter you’ve been waiting for is almost here! XDefiant drops on May 21 on Playstation 5, XBox Series X|S and Ubisoft Connect PC.https://t.co/HHRux4t0Tg pic.twitter.com/Jl9mamFdmf

Now, Ubisoft has a new game called XDefiant, originally called Tom Clancy’s XDefiant. It’s been through alpha and beta tests to see what players think and to make it better. It’s led by Mark Rubin, who used to work on Call of Duty, and it’s supposed to feel like the old Call of Duty games.
Our friend Samuel Tolbert tried an early version and said it was fun but needed more work.
The community agreed. They saw potential but wanted improvements. So, the game got delayed to fix things like the network and party system.
Now, it’s finally coming out. The Preseason starts on May 21st on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. It’ll last six weeks before the regular seasons start.
During the Preseason, you can play as different factions like Echelon and Phantoms, on maps like Arena and Times Square. There are modes like Domination and Escort.
After the Preseason, there will be new content every season, like new weapons, maps, and factions. Year 1 will have four new factions, twelve new weapons, and twelve new maps.
I’m excited about this game. I’ve been waiting for something that feels like the old Call of Duty games. It’s funny because I’m also working on leaks for the next Call of Duty game, and it’s making me nostalgic for the old days. Here’s hoping XDefiant brings back those memories!
