XDefiant, the free-to-play first person shooter starring factions across Ubisoft’s catalogue of franchises, finally has a release date and it’s out very soon. Ubisoft announced today that XDefiant drops onto PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (via Ubisoft Connect) on May 21.
This is the day the XDefiant preseason will take begin, giving players a chance to enjoy the shooter before its official first season begins. This release date reveal follows various betas and tests for the game, which at one point, resulted in the game getting indefinitely delayed last year.
“Thank you to everyone who participated in the Server Test Session,” an XDefiant blog post reads. “It was exciting to see all the love for the game and the great feedback that was shared. Coming out of the test, we are excited to say that we will launch our Preseason on May 21 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Preseason will last 6 weeks before going into our seasonal cadence.”
As for that seasonal cadence, Ubisoft has already outlined the first four season, which together will encompass the game’s Year 1 roadmap. You can check it out below:
