XDefiant Struggling to Nail Down Launch Date
According to Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson, that’s owing to development troubles that have emerged due to Ubisoft executives attempting to turn XDefiant into a “Call of Duty copy”. Henderson has claimed in a report that members of the shooter’s development team are growing “increasingly frustrated” with the game consistently missing targets, with the higher-ups’ insistence on making the game more similar to Call of Duty supposedly being the primary reason for the game’s delays.
One anonymous source has allegedly said the delays are down to “the never-ending hunt to chase CoD and add pointless stuff”, which “always breaks the current build.”
Development on the title is continuing, with a major playtest session also having been held recently, and another Open Session being planned “as soon as possible”. However, as per Henderson, the game is still “a good few months from release”, with Ubisoft itself seemingly being unsure of when to launch it.
Interestingly, responding to the report on Twitter, executive producer Mark Rubin claimed that XDefiant’s delays were unrelated to new features, and described allegations of the game attempting to imitate Call of Duty as “a major eyeroll”.
In his report, however, Henderson wrote, “I would be a little more wary in the future of the whole ‘open transparency’ thing — as it usually has bigger implications and doesn’t reflect what’s truly going on.” Responding to Rubin’s tweet, he called attention to the same.

if a game has no release date given then it was never delayed,
if a game has no release date and is struggling to hit a release window
then its not exactly struggling to begin with,
as i said in every post the investor meeting release window wasnt going to be true it was just to show yeah were still working on it,
it didnt mean the games releasing on easter weekend, which idk why people assumed that,
ubisoft never actually gave a release date, and this is ubisoft after all they see failed numbers and post pones release dates.
anyways the "delay" is because of skull and bones failure which is why we dont know jack all about anything,
and mark using delay is so morons can understand better, if he said the game wasnt delayed people would say YeS iT wAs
