XDefiant: Devs Submitting Game for Release and Squashing Last-Minute Bugs

We’re almost at the end of August and sadly, there’s still no release date set for upcoming free-to-play shooter, XDefiant. If you’re frustrated at the lack of news, you’re not the only one, and thankfully, Ubisoft is aware of it.

Over on Twitter, XDefiant Executive Producer Mark Rubin tweeted a statement about the game’s status. While there’s still no release date just yet, Rubin did mention that they are in a phase of submitting the game for release and are squashing last-minute bugs.

Read on for Rubin’s entire statement:

Hey All! I know it’s been quiet and I apologize for that. We’re in a phase where we are submitting XDefiant for release and squashing any last-minute bugs. And on a new IP (i.e., not a sequel to a sequel to a sequel…) we are taking the time to get those steps right. I love how excited everyone is about our game. We’ve reached many more people than we ever expected already, and I share your frustration on just wanting to be able to play. But unlike what my Mom thinks, making a game isn’t all fun and games. And not every part of the process is as fun as others. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. The team is hard at work, and we are making progress everyday to get the game in your hands as soon as it’s ready. Thank you again to everyone for being fans of our game and I hope to see you all soon in game.

Hopefully, this means that we’ll be getting the game in September at least. Once we know more, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
