In their tweet, the XDefiant team expressed gratitude to players who participated in the recent Public Test Session and acknowledged the positive feedback regarding the game’s fast-paced gunplay, unique maps, objective-driven modes, and iconic Faction roster.
However, they also acknowledged certain inconsistencies in the game experience that need addressing before the Preseason launch.
As a result, the Preseason of XDefiant has been postponed.
The development team will continue to work on resolving these issues and conducting further testing to ensure the game lives up to its goal of being a top-tier arcade shooter.
They have promised to provide more information about the Preseason and testing in the future.
Despite the delay, it’s worth noting that XDefiant hasn’t had an official release date announced thus far.
Given the proximity of Call of Duty’s release date, some speculate that the delay might be in the best interest of XDefiant’s success.
In fact, there’s a strong belief that XDefiant may have a better chance of thriving if it launches during the first quarter of 2024.
While this may seem like a long wait for some, it could be an opportunity for the free-to-play FPS to shine, especially when the initial hype around the latest Call of Duty has subsided.
There’s also a recent leak suggesting that the game could potentially launch on October 28, 2023, although this should be taken with caution until officially confirmed by Ubisoft.
In summary, Ubisoft has officially delayed the Preseason launch of XDefiant after reviewing feedback from a recent Public Test Session.
This delay, while not specifying a new release date, aims to address inconsistencies in the game’s experience.
The development team is committed to delivering a high-quality arcade shooter and will continue to work on improvements and testing.
The timing of the release may be crucial for XDefiant’s success, and an early 2024 launch is being considered by some as a strategic move to avoid direct competition with other major titles.
