So far, Ubisoft has confirmed five different factions for the game, each hailing from a different Ubisoft franchise, and arriving in XDefiant with its own unique style of play. It will also be crossplay, meaning different players using different platforms can match with one another. New seasonal content will land every three months.ĭespite being a more arcade-style game, XDefiant will feature both casual and ranked online multiplayer modes. Now, however, the scope has been widened to games like Watch Dogs and Far Cry, with a promise of regular additions. When first announced, these factions were limited to those from Tom Clancy’s games, like The Division, Splinter Cell, and Ghost Recon. The X-Factor for XDefiant comes from the idea that each class is born out of a different Ubisoft franchise. The company has described creating distinct styles of shooting gameplay that revolve around weapon types, weapon attachments, character classes, and the various combinations and possibilities that can arise from that. It pits two teams of six players against each other in what Ubisoft describes as a ‘fast-paced arcade shooter’ and a ‘love-letter to fans of classic arena shooters’ – we assume titles like Quake and Unreal Tournament are the touchstones here. XDefiant is a free-to-play online multiplayer first-person shooter.

XDefiant enters the free-to-play shooter space in 2023 alongside promising-looking titles like The Finalsand Hyenas. Now, it looks like it’s attempting to capitalise on its expertise and learnings for a more approachable shooter, aimed at a broader audience.īased on initial impressions, it seems to be aiming for a Call of Duty style of game, with a more vibrant art direction, and some character class modifiers to shake things up beyond raw gunplay. The company has already found ongoing success with its considered, competitive tactical shooter Rainbow Six Siege, which it revitalised after a shaky launch in 2015. Nevertheless, the company is making its latest concerted push with XDefiant, an arcade-style shooter that blends different Ubisoft franchises for a fast-paced, class-based FPS. Even developer and publisher giant Ubisoft has tried and failed with new concepts before. A handful of popular behemoths dominate the spare time and disposable incomes of most players, and numerous contenders have come and gone in an attempt to carve out a niche.

In 2023, free-to-play gaming is cutthroat.
