Ubisoft has officially announced XDefiant, a new 6v6, arena-based free-to-play shooter! The game is being developed by Ubisoft San Francisco,
The XDefiant preload launch times have been revealed along with the road to launch! Matchnaking factors explained in detail.
XDefiant's Libertad class has sufficient counters according to Ubisoft, and they also confirm there are no weapon changes coming at launch.
The XDefiant release date is now locked for May 21 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (via Ubisoft Connect). Launch info revealed.
Meh.
Simply another game going after that free-to-play money.
I cannot tell you how little I care about an Arena Shooter. Where is my Splinter Cell?
Even the reveal trailer has frame drops ... I mean ....
This isn't an arena shooter. When I was younger games like Halo, Quake, Unreal, Timesplitters, 007 Goldeneye and Perfect Dark where considered arena shooters. You didn't have classes or loadout customization. Plus, weapons where on map, with starting weapons being an exception.
Can Ubisoft become any more generic
"Can we have a proper Assassins Creed game focusing on the stealth"
"Can we have a true Beyond Good and Evil sequel as a platformer starring Jade"
"Can we get a new Prince of Persia or wrap the 08 reboot up"
"How about a new Splinter Cell"
Nope...
