While there’s still no release date for XDefiant, and we haven’t heard anything tangible about the game lately, it looks like that might change soon if Ubisoft Connect is to be believed. The digital storefront owned by Ubisoft mentions XDefiant Season 1 and a few details about it.

Here’s what showed up on Ubisoft Connect (we can confirm that this page has since been pulled):

Description: 

XDefiant is a free-to-play, first-person online arena shooter where you complete in fast-paced clashes. With cross-play available at launch, you will be able to play with friends on a variety of platforms.

Season 1 introduces the Team Rainbow operators of GSX (Border Protection Command) leveraging their counter-terrorism training to disrupt their enemies. They can deploy electrified barbed wire for area denial, counter incoming enemy devices with their Active Defense System, and dazzle multiple foes with their flash charges mounted on their G52-Tactical Shield.

As you can see, this basically confirms that Rainbow Six Siege is the next Ubisoft game that will tie in with XDefiant. Back in September of 2023, we reported on a datamine where it mentioned Assassin’s Creed and Rainbow Six Siege as the two franchises slated to appear in the upcoming shooter, which further adds to the report.

Our Take on XDefiant Season 1 Info Leak

It seems someone at Ubisoft jumped the gun and posted the page ahead of any announcement. While it has since been pulled down, could this be a hint that the game’s release is incoming? We sure hope so. After the dev team mentioned that “specific news” was set to be released in the coming weeks this January, things have gone silent since then. Hopefully, we’ll have a release date announcement this March, which would be preceded by a new beta.

For more on XDefiant’s future plans, head on over here for the Year 1 roadmap. As for the game’s launch content, Ubisoft has revealed that last year, which you can read about here.
