XDefiant’s Differences with Call of Duty
Ubisoft’s XDefiant has been dubbed the potential “Call of Duty killer,” although Ubisoft themselves do not endorse that label. This first-person multiplayer shooter distinguishes itself in several ways from Call of Duty.
One notable aspect of XDefiant is its unique connection to the Ubisoft multiverse. The game draws characters from well-known Ubisoft franchises such as Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, The Division, and WatchDogs. This integration allows for creating of numerous in-game factions based on this expansive universe.
Regarding gameplay, XDefiant offers a fast-paced experience reminiscent of the “jetpack era” seen in Call of Duty. It embraces a rapid rate of play that fans of Call of Duty have longed for since the release of Modern Warfare II in October 2022 and even earlier.
XDefiant shows great potential as a game, with a wealth of content in the works based on what has already been revealed.

Ubisoft also published a roadmap outlining the planned content to be delivered during XDefiant’s first year online.
Based on estimates and projections, there are now expectations that XDefiant will launch in late July or early August.
