Ubisoft's upcoming multiplayer arena shooter XDefiant has bravely positioned itself as a potential rival to Call of Duty, though it feels like it's been in development for a century. After several test sessions and community feedback, Ubisoft has finally announced a release date for the title, as we'll finally be able to hop into some fast-paced multiplayer action when the game drops later this month on May 21 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
This was announced by the publisher on Twitter, accompanied by a lengthy blog post on the publisher's official website detailing all the things we can expect from XDefiant in the near and distant future. Starting May 21, the game's preseason will begin, bringing with it 14 maps (10 arena, 4 progression), various modes, 24 weapons to try out, and five different factions to choose from, one of them based on Dedsec from the now dead and buried Watch Dogs series.
The preseason will last for 6 weeks before then transitioning into a regular seasonal schedule, which is laid out very similarly to other titles in the genre. Ubisoft is promising that XDefiant will get a chunky update every 3 months, bringing with it new content and various fixes/improvements to the game's existing features.
If you're wondering what each season will bring, or just missed when the game's roadmap was first revealed, it's clear that Ubisoft is putting a lot of effort into ensuring players will have plenty of new stuff to mess around with during XDefiant's first year. Each of the game's first four seasons will add more or less the same amount of content, with a new faction, three new weapons, three new maps, and a 90 tier Battle Pass added every three months.
On top of that, new arena and progression modes will be added across the course of XDefiant's first year, as well as a full ranked mode, private matches, player protection features, and various new additions to help ease in newcomers. It's all looking quite promising, though time will tell whether XDefiant has the chops to become the Call of Duty killer that many are hoping it will be.

Tom Clancy's XDefiant is almost upon us. Ubisoft is releasing the free-to-play first-person shooter on May 21 for the Xbox Series X|S, the PS5 and PC through Ubisoft Connect. The developer is kicking things off with the preseason version of the game, which is scheduled to last for six weeks before XDefiant's first season officially starts.

XDefiant, Ubisoft's Call of Duty rival, has finally revealed its new release date of May 21. When it was first revealed in 2021, XDefiant was met with confusion and criticism from Ubisoft fans. Since then, after several playtest periods and a beta last summer, sentiment surrounding the FPS improved, as it featured sound gunplay and engaging combat, though it ultimately wasn't as polished as Call of Duty. Despite the positive response, the title was hit with several more delays, one in October and another this past March, leaving the fate of the game up in the air.
