XDefiant finally gets an official release date

After multiple delays and questions about the title's future, Ubisoft finally confirmed an official release date for XDefiant, and fans don't have to wait much longer. Ubisoft revealed that XDefiant will launch on May 21 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The free-to-play FPS title features 14 maps, 24 weapons, five modes, and five factions. One of those game modes includes a Ranked Mode practice playlist to test out 4v4 competitive matches. XDefiant was originally planned to hit shelves in the late summer of 2023, but a submission snafu delayed its release. Then, an October launch day also fell through because of party code and net code issues. After another delay in March, the FPS title could finally host a server test session in late April and iron out a few last wrinkles.

After the initial six-week Preseason event, XDefiant will get new weapons, maps, events, and a new faction every three months. Year One includes four Seasons that will add four factions, 12 weapons, and 12 maps. The devs did not provide any details about which Season players should expect to add an official ranked mode or private matches. Ubisoft teases that there will be more details about the title leading up to the official release date. The post XDefiant finally gets an official release date appeared first on Destructoid.
