‘CoD-chasing’ XDefiant still reportedly ‘a few months away’ after missing planned February launch

Interest and hype surrounding Ubisoft’s competitor to Call of Duty, XDefiant, has hit an all-time low after it was revealed today the shooter missed yet another launch window in February and has reportedly been pushed back by a further few months.

After numerous delays throughout the end of 2023, sources revealed to Insider Gaming that XDefiant would also miss its new projected release date of late March, which was set in Ubisoft’s Q3 2024 earnings report. It’s the latest in a long line of missed dates and targets according to the sources who said that the pursuit of CoD has set XDefiant back so often. “The neverending hunt to chase CoD and add pointless stuff always breaks the current build,” a source supposedly said to Insider Gaming.
