XDefiant was supposed to launch at the end of March 2024

XDefiant has been delayed several times since its reveal in 2021 and now it’s unclear when we can see the game release. Executive Producer at Ubisoft San Francisco, Mark Rubin denied reports of the development team holding off releasing XDefiant because they were trying to copy features from Call of Duty. Rubin continued to say the delay is still due to tech issues.

While tensions have been rising among the community, the XDefiant Development Team put out a statement saying they hoped to have XDefiant released by the end of March 2024. There are still some improvements they need to test before we can see a launch and there will be a 12-hour server test session that will be worldwide on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC coming soon.

The development team states that after this short test, they expect to lock a launch date down.

Initially, this game was supposed to be released during the Summer of 2023 after they did an open beta in late June. In September, Ubisoft San Francisco said the game would be slightly delayed by mid to late September and then rumors swirled a release date was supposed to happen on October 28, 2023.
