XDefiant, Ubisoft's free-to-play FPS, has had its plug pulled. The publisher announced that it's "made the difficult decision to discontinue development" of the shooter, with the consequence being that up to 277 staff are set to be laid off as part of changes that'll see its San Francisco and Osaka studios be shut down, while its studio in Sydney will "ramp down".
]]>XDefiant has just played its part in tonight's Ubisoft Forward showcase, bringing some FPS fun to proceedings by showing off a teaser for its first season, which is set to arrive on July 2.
]]>Hello there. It's still just about that time of year when all of the showcases descend upon us. Following Summer Game Fest, IGN Live, and the Xbox Games Showcase, Ubisoft Forward is next up on the docket, and you can watch today's stream of it right here.
]]>XDefiant is the latest live-service shooter on the scene, and a leaker appears to be teasing some of the game's upcoming factions.
]]>After playing a closed test which I reasonably enjoyed two years ago, my expectations for XDefiant weren't super high. While my experience had been positive, everything I heard about the following tests and closed betas was that it was all heading towards enticing the Call of Duty crowd. Thankfully, the final release of the game isn't exactly that.
]]>I'm having a brilliant time with XDefiant. I must admit that I wasn't particularly sold on the game prior to its release. Didn't play any of the early access periods or betas, didn't do any press previews or anything like that. Given how hectic and packed this time of year is with brilliant games, I decided to just boot it up and give it a bash when it dropped, like everyone else did. I must say it's a darn good effort - but I'm not sure how long it'll keep kicking.
]]>XDefiant is out and is pretty darn fun! It feels a lot like some classic, arcadey shooters from my childhood. Running fast in Modern Warfare 2 and the like - the exact thing every old man has been begging for over the last decade. But with all good things come the bad, and a wave of cheaters have set their sights on Ubisoft's latest release.
]]>Ubisoft has announced the PC specs for XDefiant and you can preload the game now on either console or PC.
]]>We’re just days away from the release of XDefiant, Ubisoft’s free-to-play shooter that’s been in development for what felt like ten years. The game recently, finally, for real this time, locked in a release date of May 21.
]]>If you can believe it, Ubisoft's upcoming shooter XDefiant has been delayed once again, but a new date should be on the way soon.
]]>Right now, it’s safe to say that the campaign of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s 2023 reboot is going down like a lead balloon with critics. The consensus seems to describe MW3 as being a pretty dull offering. Its new innovations aren’t executed well, and much of its campaign feels reused and recycled from previous Modern Warfares.
]]>In a community reaction trailer that couldn’t have been any less inclusive even if it tried, XDefiant was shown off at the Ubisoft Forward showcase. The showcase saw a reveal date and another beta test announced for the FPS game.
]]>It turns out that Ubisoft's next shooter, XDefiant, is doing pretty well, as more than a million players took part in the closed beta.
]]>XDefiant is the latest arena shooter effort from Ubisoft, hoping to provide a fast-paced first-person shooter experience to anyone that likes the idea of diversifying their play styles, or has recently tired of Call of Duty and gotten a taste for all that sanitised military nonsense.
