XDefiant just can't catch a break, can it? Ubisoft's upcoming free-to-play arena shooter seems like a promising game, but after a new round of public playtests, developer Ubisoft San Francisco has decided to push back the game's preseason to iron out some issues.
The team released the following statement on social media:
"Thank you to everyone who participated in our recent Public Test Session and continues to stand alongside us as we build XDefiant," it reads. While the playtesting went well, "it also surfaced some inconsistencies in the game experience that we need to address prior to launching our Preseason". The preseason is delayed and, therefore, XDefiant itself.
There doesn't appear to be an up-to-date release window for the game. "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."
This further delay comes after news that XDefiant failed its certification with both PlayStation and Xbox. While these setbacks will ultimately lead to a better game in the long run, we imagine the team and the game's fans will be somewhat frustrated by these setbacks. Hopefully things get back on track soon.

Just give it Ubisoft. Please 😔
@Powerplay94 I was just thinking the same. It sounds like a such a minor nitpick but I fully agree - The name is not great.
Whenever I hear it I think of those ott Saturday morning cg series from the 90s. And not the good ones.
Enough with this nonsense. Make another Rayman or South Park game if you want something useful to do
A lot of work for a game that will be offline within a year of coming out.
That picture makes this look rather like a Fortnite clone. Or in other words, it's entering a crowded market and will be DOA.
@Enigk fair point. But I doubt it: XDefiant feels really, really good to play.
It hasnt been released and it is already dead 😂😌
That’s the lie
Want to hear the truth?
DELAYED to avoid competing with what seems to be an actual good COD game, MW3
I think it will be scratched at all, just because "multiplayer" bubble has popped.
@Powerplay94 you want to hear something funny? When I worked at studio sf they had a board with all the possible names for this game. It was close to the bathrooms on the second floor. No one understood why this name was picked. So I can only assume the pretentious dh who wrote the name on the wall was also the one with the final word.
Given the history of the project I am not at all surprised that it ended up with the most generic name ever to reflect its wannabe generic call of duty game play. This title was intended to just replicate what rainbow six seige had done.
If you knew what games were cancelled in favor this lame attempt at money grabbing mediocrity, you'd be pissed.
It got the name it deserves.
