After what felt like an eternity of waiting, Ubisoft has finally announced the official release date for XDefiant: May 21.<\/p>\n
The game will kick off with a preseason, or Season Zero, starting on that date, followed by regular seasonal content drops to keep the game fresh.<\/p>\n
During the six-week preseason, players can expect new content and features, including a Ranked Mode Practice Playlist where they can sharpen their skills for the competitive ladder mode launching in a future season.<\/p>\n
Ubisoft has laid out a roadmap for the game’s first year, promising new factions, weapons, maps, and a battle pass every season.<\/p>\n
By the end of year one, XDefiant will boast four factions, 12 weapons, and 12 new maps in addition to the existing content.<\/p>\n
The recent stress test reportedly went well enough for Ubisoft to feel confident in the game’s readiness for release, despite previous delays and development turmoil.<\/p>\n
Although there were some issues with hit registration during the test, the developers claim to have addressed them, ensuring a smoother experience at launch.<\/p>\n
