Ubisoft has announced the upcoming launch of XDefiant on May 21 for Xbox Series. Originally planned for a summer 2023 release, the game faced certification issues from Sony and Microsoft, prompting a postponement. The development team continued to address inconsistencies in the gameplay experience, leading to further delays.
XDefiant offers players the choice of five factions, each with unique equipment, skills, and abilities. Players can customize their loadout before the game starts and change it at any time during respawn. The game features five different modes on 14 maps, with a variety of weapons and accessories.
Each faction in the game offers two active skills, a passive upgrade, and an ultra skill that requires charging. DedSec, one of the factions, is initially locked but can be accessed by completing missions. Players can equip primary and secondary weapons, as well as grenades, including submachine guns, shotguns, assault rifles
