Ubisoft shuts down XDefiant, developer jobs left in limbo
After assuring players there were no plans to shut down XDefiant just two months ago, the game’s official Twitter account and executive producer Mark Rubin revealed that’s exactly what will happen in 2025.
The announcements came today swiftly after a report from Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson indicating the same news. XDefiant is beginning the sunsetting process for the game now, according to Henderson’s report and confirmed by Rubin’s statement. Season three of the title will still launch, but starting today, “new downloads and player registrations will no longer be available.” The game’s servers will remain online until June 3, 2025, at which point they’ll go offline and nothing will remain of XDefiant apart from the memories of playing a game that was kind of like Call of Duty.
