Ex-COD Dev's New Shooter XDefiant At Ubisoft Delayed

In a social media post, Ubisoft said it hoped to release XDefiant by the end of March. However, there are "still some improvements" the studio has to make before it's ready. Right now the focus is on an upcoming 12-hour stress test for the game's servers, and Ubisoft is inviting its early access players to hop in and try to put the servers through their paces.

After this process, Ubisoft said it expects to be able to lock in a public release date and begin to discuss XDefiant's post-launch content plans.

"Thank you again for standing by us," Ubisoft said.

Just this week, Insider Gaming published a report containing behind-the-scenes info on XDefiant's development process. In particular, the report called out a group of executives and directors on the project known internally as "The Boys Club." These people reportedly "caused constant problems for the game's development."

Remember this game was in "testing" September 2021 over 2 years of other testing the netcode is still broken and they need more time?

What is going on over there if they had a product for testing in 2021 then it must have been in full development for a good 3-4 years at that point.

It is a game from former cod devs. Lol, when have cod devs ever made a cod game that didn't have problems? Shoot, they still haven't fixed problems from years ago.

just_looken757d ago

True true they are use to people giving them millions for half baked worked for decades.

This game is going to be a dsiaster

GoodGuy09758d ago

This is one of those games that you don't know if it actually exists.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing3h ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster921h ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
