Ubisoft Delays Call of Duty-Like XDefiant Indefinitely Due to Playtesting Issues
-
Ubisoft delayed its Call of Duty-like game XDefiant indefinitely due to "inconsistencies" found during recent playtesting.
-
XDefiant was originally slated for release in early/mid-October but failed console compliance checks forced a delay to summer 2023.
-
Playtests held late September surfaced more "inconsistencies" leading Ubisoft to delay the planned 6-week preseason.
-
Ubisoft gave no new target release window but said the team is working to address the issues before launch.
-
XDefiant aims to tap into a nostalgia for fast-paced, arcade FPS gameplay à la mid-2000s Call of Duty titles.
