'Tom Clancy's XDefiant' Rebrands Into 'XDefiant' In Order To Expand Its Scope, Opens Insider Sessions

by Rainier on March 17, 2022 @ 3:22 p.m. PDT

XDefiant is a free-to-play, fast-paced arena shooter that combines intense gunplay with personalized loadouts and specialized factions, as teams of gunfighters – called Defiants – battle for domination.

Developed by Ubisoft San Francisco and led by seasoned FPS expert Mark Rubin (executive producer) and Ubisoft San Francisco veteran Jason Schroeder (creative director), XDefiant offers an all-new experience to Tom Clancy games.

Personalize your Defiant to match your playstyle. Choose your faction, traits, abilities, and ultras. Select from an arsenal of primary and secondary weapons, attachments, and a device to complete your loadout – then tweak it on the fly to adapt to an ever-changing battlefield.

XDefiant offers a variety of competitive 6v6 arena and linear game modes, such as Domination and Escort. Combine that with a large pool of uniquely designed maps in rotation and no two matches will feel the same.

The Cleaners (The Division), Echelon (Splinter Cell), Libertad (Far Cry 6), and Phantoms (Ghost Recon) factions battling across iconic locations is just the starting point. We’ll keep adding to our cast of Defiants as the game evolves, drawing on a range of characters and abilities from the Clancy universe and beyond.

Defiants,

We are pleased to welcome you to our XDefiant Insider Sessions. These play sessions will place players with and against our development team to showcase different features of the game. We learned a lot from our last Closed Test, thanks to your in-depth and genuine feedback. Which we're hoping for even more of.

XDefiant Insider Sessions will be available for select registrants on PC. Invitations to these sessions will be sent starting March 15th. As the tests progress, we plan to expand the number of participants. Remember, registration is open to all players, PC and console, so be sure to register for updates on when console players will enter testing.

These sessions will be an opportunity for you to get hands on in-progress features and provide feedback. Additionally, you'll be introduced to Factions from games outside of the Tom Clancy universe. With these changes, the game will now be known as XDefiant

Make sure you are registered at playxdefiant.com for a chance to participate.

These sessions will be under NDA, so we will be a little quiet until we have more to share - but rest assured, we'll be there playing with you and engaging in conversations, as we continue to work toward making XDefiant the best experience that it can be.

See you out there!
