Eight years, 32 seasons, 70 operators. In all that time, Rainbow Six Siege players can point to only a few moments where the cornerstone of its meta—breaching—saw upheaval. In 2015 the Bandit trick proved Thatcher could be countered, in 2018 Maverick offered an unstoppable (but risky) option to brute force a wall, then Kaid offered protection for hatches. Alternate options for breaching charges and EMPs have slotted nicely into the meta since then, but I'm not sure anyone is ready for Tubarão.
XDefiant is Still Due Out Before April, as Per Ubisoft
29.10.2023 - 13:35 / gamingbolt.com / Rainbow VI (Vi) / Ubisoft
If things had gone to plan, XDefiant would be out by now, though that, of course, has not ended up being the case. Originally set to launch this Summer, the game ran into behind-the-scenes certification issues as it approached its intended launch period, and though there were some rumours that it could launch in the latter stages of October, it wasn’t long afterward that Ubisoft officially announced a delay.
Currently, there’s no release date announced for the multiplayer shooter, but Ubisoft has confirmed that it will be releasing sometime before April next year. In its recent fiscal report, while listing the games it has lined up for release for the ongoing fiscal year (which runs up to March 31, 2024), the company confirmed that XDefiant is one of three free-to-play games that it intends to release during the ongoing fiscal year, including Rainbow Six Mobile and The Division Resurgence.
Ubisoft recently also announced yet another delay for Skull and Bones, which is now targeting a Q1 2024 launch, while the company has also delayed an unspecified “large” game – likely Star Wars Outlaws – into the next fiscal year.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Shortchanged Hailey Cooper – Here’s How to Fix It
It’s been a week since Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 dropped. The game received rave reviews, and gamers are having a ball playing it. The game mechanics are a dream; the graphics are spectacular, especially the spatial layout and design of New York and its surroundings. Gliding and web-slinging through the urban landscapes on a mission is an exhilarating experience. The game is great even if you change characters, like switching from Peter Parker to Miles Morales. Other highlights in the game are the story and Spider-Man’s gadgets. Reviewers can ramble about what’s been great about the game, but sometimes even great games come with problems. One such problem is popping up online from players complaining about a side mission with Hailey Cooper in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
