Gamers who keep up with news, trailers, teases, and reveals of new titles usually have a lot to look forward to. But sometimes, the gap between a reveal and an actual release is so long that these expectations turn into anxiety. That’s the case with Ubisoft’s XDefiant<\/em><\/strong>. <\/p>
XDefiant<\/em> is an upcoming free-to-play Ubisoft FPS title. Featuring several factions from the Tom Clancy series, it’s set in a somewhat futuristic version of the U.S. and incorporates visual elements of punk and graffiti. Originally announced in mid-2021, it has been famously delayed<\/a> a few times since.<\/p>
Most recently, after closed and open beta sessions throughout 2023, game director Mark Rubin revealed that some inconsistencies surfaced<\/a>, making it impossible to honor the intended October 2023 release. Specifically, netcode and party issues needed to be solved before the game was ready. These issues have since been fixed, according to a Jan. 2 update from Rubin<\/a>.<\/p>
That means a new release date is out for XDefiant<\/em>, right?<\/p>
