XDefiant was planned to release in summer 2023, but it turned out that fans will have to wait a little longer than expected for Ubisoft's answer to Call of Duty. A leaker now claims to know the exact release date.
The release date for Ubisoft's team-shooter XDefiant was originally announced for "Summer 2023" and it was widely presumed that would mean August. However, it recently turned out that we will have to wait longer for the game to finally come out.
XDefiant Release Date: When Will The Full Game Launch?
In mid-September, a new statement by executive producer Mark Rubin on Ubisoft's website gave us an update on XDefiant's release date. According to Rubin, the game didn't pass the submission process to get the game on PlayStation and Xbox.
It was originally planned to release at the end of August, but that date had to be pushed back due to the failed submission. Afterward, speculation arose about the game potentially coming out in October, but that didn't happen either. A new release date hasn't been officially announced yet.
So it still remains a mystery, when this game is actually coming out. According to a new report by Insider Gaming, the game is stuck in development hell and keeps getting delayed.
"XDefiant, the free-to-play first-person shooter developed by Ubisoft San Francisco, has faced near-monthly internal delays because of last minute decisions to include additional features that break the current build."
A new release date still hasn't been announced, and considering what we heard about the development, I wouldn't hold out hopes for the game to come out any time soon.
What Platforms Will XDefiant Be Released On?
XDefiant will be released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S/X. So... basically everything next-gen. And before you ask, yes, there will be full crossplay functionality available from the day XDefiant is released. However, we don't yet know whether we can turn this feature off.
That's all the information Ubisoft has released so far concerning the XDefiant release date, but we will of course update this article as soon as we hear more. Until XDefiant is released, why not learn to play the best competitive shooter currently available?
