Starting today (December 3, 2024), new downloads and player registrations for XDefiant will no longer be available.
Back in March I reviewed Ubisoft's new Hero Shooter XDefiant and really enjoyed my time with it. Sure, it had its shortcomings but overall, it was a breath of fresh air in the saturated FPS genre. There was one mode in particular called Escort. You are required to stay close to a walker that is moving through the map. When you leave its proximity, it will stop moving. So you are constantly moving and unable to set up a proper defense, while being attacked from all angles.
Unfortunately, it's not doing the numbers and Ubisoft have decided to pull the plug on XDefiant.
In a tweet from Mark Rubin the Executive Producer on XDefiant stated starting today, new downloads and new player registrations will not be available. Having had some fun blasting members of Libertad and DedSec, I jumped on to clean up the 5 achievements I am missing. As of reading this it's no longer available for download.
There are still plans on releasing season 3 in the near future and the servers will remain active until June 3rd 2025.
There is good news for anyone who purchased the Ultimate Founders Pack, you will be receiving a full refund. Also, any players who made purchases in the past 30 days will receive a full refund as well. These refunds will happen automatically in the next 8 weeks from today (4/12/2024)
Anyone who has any questions can find more details on XDefiant.com
