"CoD" killer "XDefiant" will be released until end of march 2024 :: Call of Duty® General Discussions

For all players that are bored of Activision or CoD may be CoD and Activision ... i do not know the order ... for me both are the same. The CoD killer XDefiant from Ubisoft will be released until the end of march 2024 ... and it will be FREE to play. It will be for PC / PlayStation 5 / Xbox...

ROFL! Guess I should have put /s.

Can't say I'm too surprised. The game was entertaining for a bit during the open beta and fell off pretty damn fast even then IMO.

Makes you wonder how much Ubisoft paid to make this game.....

He said literally.

I know you wouldn't make wild claims such as that mate

 

[bender]

this was a CoD killer.

 

[amigastar]

Never really heard or cared for that game.

 

[clarky]

"Literally no one said this was a COD killer"

 

[SmokedMeat]

Another generic GaaS title bites the dust.

Is this one that you liked? I can't keep track of this slop any more.

NeoGAF own Michael Pachter, always bet against whatever he's supporting

Literally only children care about the improper use of the word literally in the year of our lord 2024.

This reminds me of the time a bunch World of Warcraft clones were releasing only to fail.

Dont use it then box boy.

[clarky]

I take a lot of drugs my crimes are many.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Does it still take like 20 kills for a super to charge up?

I thought this game was very average. The hit detection was woeful.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Dont use it then box boy.

I literally never will again.

 

[Roman Empire]

It was bound to happen. Big if true.

Probably less than Concord

Yup. It's where we are in the cycle.

Companies, perhaps understandably, will chase that evergreen money and whatever trend it's taking the form of.

Ubi raking in L's after L's, at this rate Neogaf could buy them out.

Hey EviLore , if you're making a move and you end up 5 bucks short hit me up!

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Shutting down after a few more seasons? Wiki says the game launched in May, and season 2 launched last month. So season 4 will be maybe sometime next year? So shut it down after maybe one year (May 2025)?

lol.

I didnt know they redid the cover art and fonts until someone brought it up a week ago. I thought UBI was still promoting the game with that awful Forenitey party atmosphere like Bleeding Edge.

 

[Jibran#one]

The awful name , the horrendous character designs , the goofy ass lighting on most maps , time between matches.
All the right recipes for a disaster

[Ribi]

Honestly shocked it wasnt DOA. It was a game that should have been made in like 2010. Who greenlit this generic ass shit?

 

[Pop]

Oh ya sure sure

 

[Moridianae]

He can be doing all he wants. Meetings, goals, etc.

Ubisoft is struggling and mightily

If they don't see any traction, it's farewell, no matter how he tries to dissuade.

EXCLUSIVE - Ubisoft's XDefiant Will be Shutting Down in June 2025

Several sources have revealed that Ubisoft will be shutting down XDefiant in June 2025, say sources familiar within Ubisoft.

Looks like it's becoming Ex-Defiant.

Technically the original response is correct, there are no plans to shut the game down after Season 4, that's because the plan is to shut it down after Season 3.

 

[IllegalLemon]

Mhm!!!

 

[Branded]

The only CoD killer is CoD.

 

[Plague Doctor]

This tweet aged well.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

first i've heard of it. not trolling... i'm serious.

oh well.

 

[STARSBarry]

This tweet aged well.

I mean nothing he said is incorrect, there where no plans to shut down after Season 4, as the plan is to shut down after Season 3, so still accurate.

After discussing their year 2 plans they are now letting us know it won't exist, all of this was accurate.
