Just yesterday, Ubisoft published its latest quarterly earnings report. While there’s still no XDefiant release date available, the company did confirm that it’s still coming later this fiscal year.

Here’s the part of the earnings report where XDefiant was mentioned:

The lineup for the remainder of the fiscal year includes, on the premium side, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora™, Just Dance® 2024 edition, Prince of Persia The Lost Crown and Skull and Bones™, which is set to release during Q4 2023-24. On the free-to-play side, Rainbow Six® Mobile, The Division® Resurgence and XDefiant will also launch later this fiscal year.

For those not familiar, current fiscal year is from now until March 2024, so this means XDefiant could be released from anywhere today or sometime until March 31, 2024  and it would still fall under the current fiscal year.

While this doesn’t give us a definite release date, at the very least, we know it’ll be released in the coming months. I mean, the last official announcement delayed it indefinitely, and for now, this is the best news we have.

With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 set to be released this November 10, it’s very much in Ubisoft’s best interest to not avoid a direct clash with gaming’s biggest shooter franchise. That said, I wouldn’t be surprised to see XDefiant be released in early 2024 to capitalize on the early gaming drought for shooters.
