XDefiant is Ubisofts new take on the FPS genre, aiming to take on Call of Duty's crown as the premiere twitch shooter.
XDefiant is a strange hybrid of hero shooters and Call of Duty, taking the worlds and factions from a multitude of Ubisoft's series' and throwing them into an arena shooter. 6v6 team-based battles over a variety of game modes aren't anything new to those of you who play Call of Duty, but the catch is you'll be playing as characters from Watch Dogs, Far Cry, and Splinter Cell. But if Valorant can mix hero shooter with CSGO and make it work, I suppose a hero shooting Call of Duty could work.
After the demise of titles like Hyperscape, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Frontline, and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms, XDefiant is Ubisoft's latest attempt to conquer the free-to-play shooter market. Unlike those titles, however, XDefiant seems to be picking up steam after positive reactions from the open beta, we could be looking at the next great arena shooter.
